Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

I went to the TeamMoto Trackday today and the day started off pretty good doing 2 sessions in slow to get a feel for the track. Ok then decided to move up to the middle group cause slow group kinda sucked nearly running up the back of a few riders .

I was having a ball so was my mate millsi as we were having fun with some dude on a racebike. Farkin hell was very cool seein millsi dive up the inside of turn 2 overtaking the racebike in process bringing up sparks off his titanium knee sliders. Sometime after this it went all pear shaped for me. I was coming down the back straight braking late and overtaking a few riders in process and then started to overtake a guy on the outside of turn3 and half way around turn 3 i gave it a little gas then ................fark.........lowside.

Apart from what you can see in the pics i bent the clip on and grinded off a nice chunk of front brake lever.

Hows the brake lever/foot peg/footpeg hanger that would have been the same side as the roundabout incident yeh.

Are your leathers ok,hows the bruising hope your ok too the bike will be better in no time,and i believe kempy has a big roll of tape but it hasnt gone that far yet.

mate, I know *exactly* how you feel. Good to hear your're ok...

Otherside Beryl so like you i have matching sides.

I tore open some stitching in the arse of the leathers.

Yeah i am ok just mainly a sore left wrist .........i think sprained but may get an x-ray 2morrow or day after just to make sure.

Looking at your scratches (and mine ) seems like it could have been prevented using those knobs. Any suggestion around here whether such device is worth having ?

I have seen kits for 108us dollars which include billet barends,frame sliders and swingarm sliders,the swingarm sliders are like pickup knobs but a bit longer and made out of plastic.

Seemed a good idea but i am trying to be optemistic maybe if the dollar goes up to eighty cents i will have a go they should be easy to post anyway.

Bummer... Luckily it doesn't look to bad and you needed a new "louder" pipe anyway...
Take it as the oportunity to customise.. Thats why I did up my 7...

S**t sorry to hear the bad news greenmeanie & i thought the year was going so well without a crash untill now Glad your ok greenmeanie

ARGH! no good man. Thats 2, in the space of barely a month. Ah well, at least its a very honourable stack.

And luckily, like me, you got off with next to no damage. Just a clipon and a brake lever. Lucky stuff.

Hey Glenn sorry to hear about the off, mate. Hope your wrist is OK too

Sorry to hear Glenn...

I hope you get it sorted sooner rather than later...

Bugger...

Bugger, bugger, bugger...

Glad your OK Glenn and happy to hear the damage isn't too bad...

Damn! Why is it they always land on the pipe side?

Sounds like you had some serious pace Glenn prior to the gravity test, hope it all rubs out with some polish n that your wrist is good as gold.

Sorry to see your bad luck mate. Always seems to happen when you're having a ball.
But since the bikeis a total write off, why not just give it to me
Ateast it only scuffed up one side, noot left, right, top, front and rear.
