OHhhhhhhhhhh shyt! Thats why I take that to the track now.

 

I don't look forward to that at all... Awesome spirited driving though!!!!

 

he was ok , still not sure what happeed. we wer not pushin a hard pace.

 

+1...

Uneducated opinion, but it looks like he laid it over WAYYYYYYYYYY more than was at all necessary and possibly scrapped leg/foot-peg/something on the ground causing him to slide.

Agree/Disagree?

 

Im no expert, but I doubt the pegs would have caused the crash, Ive dragged pegs many times(plus they fold up when they contact the road).

I think its very possible he grabbed some brake and the tires didnt have any traction left.

It was expained to me this way......if a tire is using 80% of its traction, you have room for other factors, such as braking.

If a tire is using 100% of the tire, there is no room left for braking.

My guess is, he came in hot, panicked, and hit the brakes.....or maybe just hit something slippery........hard to say.

I dont touch the brakes in turns, not advanced enough yet to trail brake





just my unedumacted .02

 

dang he likes that center line no.... looks pretty bad. Any pics of the damage?

 

He also tips in pretty quickly. But I don't want to sit here and keyboard quarterback. End of the day it is simple... he lost the front. Glad he is ok.

 

glad he's alright, that looks like a very fun ride.

as to why he crashed... you had a bit of a big gap, but my guess is it looks like he initiated the turn a little later and tried to compensate for it to not go over the double yellow line by either touchin the brake, counter-steering more, or incorrect throttle - something to try and get out of it.

 

Was it the center line paint, hydroplane the rear tire? He was smooth until that particular lean...paint + little dirt ....glad he is ok...
