pinky fingernail crushed under lever and turning all sorts of lovely colors-no pain though as long as I dont touch it, bruised on my right shoulder and ribs, and on my left tricep (bike hit me).  I just installed NEW race plastics...except the tail, that was my old track plastic.   Damage to bike: -race plastics in need of patch and repair. -left frame slider ripped out of bracket -left OEM rearset bent, but useable -crushed metal coolant line, leaks coolant which dented my frame possibly... -rear subframe more bent than before -right barend needs replacing -right master cylinder/lever/barend round down a bit but useable. -right frame slider did its job, but looks worse for wear -tiny 1/4" diameter chip in rear marchesini lip bike runs and I rode it back to the pits so most everything else seems fine. damage to gear: -ku****ani surfing on right thigh, arm and shoulder -NEW alpinestar GP-Plus gloves scraped but did their job wonderfully -NEW Sidi Vertigo boots (right one) scraped up but did its job wonderfully. Appears to have slid heavily on the toe slider so I guess the bike was partly on my foot as we initially slid. -1.yr old helmet has small gash on right rear. GOOD GEAR WORKS. what happened: cold tires on a cold day. came out of the pits to start my second session, 2 buddies in front of me, one buddy immediately behind me. came out on the track on a slight turn (actually T2 of the course), then into 3 which is the left-right chicane entering the infield. I transitioned from the left to right and as I got to what would be my full lean for the first lap, before I even got on the gas it just slipped away from me. I hit the ground and slid right next to my bike. I was partly on the bike (left arm)...or I was sliding faster than the bike?...As the bike went off the pavement and hit the grass it flipped, hitting the underside of my left arm and slamming the left side of the bike into the ground. It took a tumble in my full view...oh my eyes!... When we came to a stop I got up and did the classic head shaking walk toward the barricades further on. Ambulance crew came and told me what a wonderful slide I did...years of practice racing bicycles... I feel more sorry for the friend of a friend that showed up on his ducati 999r (isnt that like $25k?)...he lowsided and said his side fairing alone was gonna run him $2k (all carbon fiber). Why he didnt pony up $1200 for good race plastics (unlike me, spending $400) is beyond me... no air fence visible... | |
