First yard sale by yours truly
I know I dont come on this site that often, but since many people on this site helped me get started I thought it was only fair I share my first crash. I went from 9th place to 3rd by the 2nd lap and lost the rear at about 87 mph
here is a vid of a practice session (although not the crash itself) at portland international raceway, i crashed at the end of the front straight on my entry into turn one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVUxpxU3JRc ebay has been good to me so far on the way Forks $400 salvage vaulving and rebuil in forks $300 Wheels front and rear with rotors $500 fairing stay $90 on the way radiator $190 on the way oil cooler$100 on the way cluch pearch$25 on the way SS front brake lines $90 new upper and lower and front fender body work, ok a whole new set $499 if you know someone with a set of 05-06 gsxr 1000 send me a pm exhaust, TRS full system SS #4header, yosh will not sell single piece even though it comes apart. $410 for new header. exhaust mount $39.99 right vortex foot peg $22 and a ShamWOW cloth dang that was expensive [IMG]  [/IMG]

it is done,they are finishing the curbing and some other stuff. I have not made it out there, but this is the first day it was open. it is a very blind track and will take alot of tracktime to get it figured out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j68V7D42nF4 its nice to have 3 track now near me. one is 5 miles and the others are 1 1/2 hours away.

Sorry to hear about your get-off.
Your subframe is still intact? Most Gixxers I've seen tumble have the subframe snap off. Recommendation: Get your frame checked. When I cart wheeld the bike a few years ago (broke my forks similar to yours), the force bent the bearing race and knocked my frame 3mm short. |
