Got the six and it went down 500meteres from the dealers, freak accident i thought i wasnt hardly moving and the tyres wernt loaded up or anything how can this be.
Couple of rides later i went the lowside up my local mountain which wasnt any fun slid into a pile of crusherdust off someones driveway but it was enough to put the shits up me and am just getting to the stage where i can think about having a decent go.
Might have to wear out a few tyres before the confidence comes back and maybe a trackday or 2, but at this stage i am quite prepared to let the really fast boys disapear down the road because i know they wont have to wait too long for me to catch up.
We have a couple of diferent tracks in sunny Qld yoda one is more you traditional out in a padock with sand traps and plenty of space to go bitumen surfing without hitting anything type tracks made of hi grip ashphault and it will toast your tyres in a day the other has concrete walls dirt embankments and big run offs with 4 foot long grass so you cant tell what is runoff and what is a spoon drain anyway its a good place to exercise your head for a bit while you are gettting over those survival responces that are making you ride worse than bretts mum.confidence on the road ..which has bumps, cars, power poles and
white lines is needed. and you simply won't get that on a race track
a day on the track requires a completely different mindset
to riding on the road
I let the really quick guys go at the track too, feel free to pass me any time and at some stage the pace will come back.
I was always telling car drivers I was a passenger with to "slow" down even when they were slow anyway. But time will heal, it is only human nature in the back of our minds to protect ourselves. So now I am riding a ZX12R, proof that it can be done, although you will never forget the accident you will gain your confidence back. 
Who cares. You win either way.
