My new 09 at the first trackday of the season. It was frikkin cold and wet!!!

New tires + Cold + Wet +1Rusty Rider = Lowside

Nothing major, clip on busted, rearset peg tweaked and a little road rash. Good thing I'm not fast!:laugh

 

[arron]

Bummer about the crash dude.. What track where you at?

 

[sodakrider]

sorry to hear you crashed, good thing it is only minor damages and your not hurt

 

[Ryan]

damn that white looks sexy...

 

[Coxy13]

Sucks about the lowside man,

Bike looks effing SWEEEET!!!!

 

[illrational]

What kit is that

 

[smokey11]

Thanks for all of the kind words everybody

I was at TMP, Toronto Motorsports Park. It's about an hour outside of Toronto.

 

[smokey11]

What kit is that

Not sure what you mean, I think you are you talking about the bodywork. It's a Hotbodies set and it held up well during my minor low side.

 

[smokey11]

So I got back out there last thursday May 3/12. I got her sorted Renthal clip ons and grips, Woodcraft replacement peg and Fren Tubo type 4 Carbon Fiber lines all installed.

And here's a couple of me holding up traffic :laugh I need more seat time to get used to the bike and actually remember how to ride. All in all had a great day, gonna get back out again asap!!!

 

[scoobs]

looks like you are having a fun time out on the track ........so enjoy many days to come .......remember all those guys you are holding up as you said ......had to start sometime ......so dont get flusterred and enjoy yourself .....got a great bike for it

 

[smokey11]

:cheers thanks for the encouragement, it's been 5 yrs since i've been on a bike, I expected to just pick up where I left off but that is not the case. I'll get back there I just need a lot more seat time.

 

[smokey11]

I should also add that I did not get my front/rear sprocket or DID chain on as the front sprocket nut did not want to come off. :headbang: Hopefully I'll get them installed as well as the Kit ECU and get the bike on the dyno before the next trackdays, May/19, 20 and 21.

why no frame sliders? those race plastics could still be pretty

 

[smokey11]

I'm not a believer in frame sliders I've seen them catch too many times and flip the bike. I know they do help in a crash,actually I'm looking into some tank sliders as the tank seems to be one of the first things to touch.

I made it out to the track again last thursday.Here is a link to my build thread, sorry I've just been lazy to post my updates twice.

[Silvredition]

I did the most recent one at Shannonville long track, before that was TMP Cayuga. I'm going to Mosport July 8th for Racer5 race school and then back at Shannonville on the 12th and TMP on the 14th and 15th.

Racer 5 and Rider's Choice both host great trackdays with lots of experienced riders to help you out, give either one a call you can't go wrong.
