So... long story short, I low-sided about midway through turn 14 at thunderhill. I spun up the rear tire and walked the bike away from me. I am relatively unscathed (I bruised my coccyx) my leathers suffered no damage and my bikes plastics are well not so plastic anymore... all in all I lost the right clip on, and the right rearset. now I do have some damage to other parts such as... the stupid plastic part that goes inside the master cylinder that connects the reservoir to the master cylinder... of course that broke and I can't find it as a solo part on bike bandit even though it it a solo part so I might have to have a shop fab one up out of aluminum or something not worth $180. and I might have slightly bent a fork tube (right side inner tube (the shiny silver one)).
If anyone has any leads on these parts I would appreciate it...
I will be going with sharkskinz for the plastics and I might go aftermarket on the controls if I cant find cheap oem ones...
p.s. reason for the crash??? I was running 2:05 which is quite fast on a TT... Since this was my first time running these numbers consistently I overheated the tires and turned them into glass... (I was running the BT002R at 29.5psi...) I had to do a crash analysis with the lead Instructor of Pacific Track Time (Corey Call) and he came to this decision.... Time to upgrade to race tires if I am going to be running at those times...
You can watch Cory here....
