Default makes me not want to turn

http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...67e0523526.htm

The hardest crashes were about 2:25, 3:28, 4:40, 8:12, 12:14. The thing that amazes me the most is after these crazy 100+mph spills these guys just get up and start walking away like nothing happened!! That thin leather must really do a good job some of those guys were sliding on the pavement for a ways. Makes me think about how dangerous I ride sometimes.

Default RE: makes me not want to turn

My parents know how i ride and they saw that video as i was watching. First thing they said was " You cant do that cause we say so" They know I want to get into track racing too and my mother is scarred ****less. She said she wasnt going to watch me on the track at all. I said " bull **** your not."

sliding on a track into the grass/pea gravel is better than sliding on a road into the woods/guardrail.

going down at the track is unavoidable. check out the regular's leathers at track day! people have said it a thousand times.... you gotta expect to go down. highside has to be the worst way to go down (been there)
