Default Lowsided my CBR 929RR at Buttonwillow last weekend

Basically I was wearing brand new gloves on the track and was not used to them so I wasnt truly comfortable. The mistake I made that led to the low side was that I was still holding the throttle open, giving it gas, while trying to brake and slow down for the upcoming turn. Gave it too much brake and front end dipped on me.

here are some pictures of it. bike was covered in oil and mud but I cleaned off most of it by now and took off the rear tail.


headlight assembly, broken clips and dirt all over the top


brand new joe rocket gloves, trashed, never again will i buy a pair. had i been going any faster, my hands might have gotten pretty ****ed up


clown suit held up pretty well. only had one tear on the thigh which can easily be sown up.

Wow, I'm very sorry you crashed but that's a sweet video. Those cameras are such beasts.
