Trackday Mishap..

[Mr Lefty]

well I am with Azzoom though... it ULTAMATELY was your choice to run the bike in a not 100% track ready state... you gambled and lost.

I'd be pissed too about the fuckups with the company.... but that's all you can blame on them... ya know?

it's kind of like going to subway for a healthy lunch and them being closed... so you gotta go to McD's... and being pissed at Subway for you gain'n weight.

all Azzoom is saying is be adult and own up to your mistakes instead of passing them off.

sucks that you went down... I'd be pissed as well... actually when my bike fell over due to a flat I WAS insanely pissed... but it was my choice to ride with a plugged tire, so I can't get pissed at the shop for not having my new tire in to change.

hope you get your 2wheel situation sorted out quick and get back riding quick though!

The motherfucker was excited to do a fucking track day, leave the man alone.

[PiZdETS]

That sucks man, build her back up stronger, faster, awesomer!

[r!der]

Damn that sucks, but any time you can walk away from a crash you should be thankful. If anything, try to learn from the experience. What went wrong, what could you have done differently, etc... Going down sucks period, but atleast make good use of the situation and try to learn from it.

Have the frame measured, if it's straight, turn it into a mean track bike that you won't have to worry about baby-ing all the time....and ride the piss out of it. Just make sure everything is straight and safe before you dump money into it.

My bikes been thru some rough days too. The tanks been painted 3 different colors. (yes I suck )

Like I've already tried to explain.. I tried NOT to gamble by ordering the parts waaay in advance. They kept sending the wrong parts.. It took 2 months to get that coolant bottle. And I STILL don't have the right spacers for them..

I guess I'm crazy..

[Mr Lefty]

bro your missing our point. yes... R&G fucked up... it's shit that they didn't get the sliders to you in time... but it's not their fault your bike's fucked up.

but what's done is done... glad your ok... hopefully you'll still feel ok in the next couple of days... (sprains, strains, and bruses have a way of hiding them selves for a day or so)

I'll tell ya right now though... if you go OEM... the side fairings are gonna cost $240 each... and the front will be closer to $350...

Whatever.. don't really care anymore at this point..

Yeah, my ankle def has a prob.. It makes nice cracking sounds when I try to hobble around.. I will be seeing a doc soon.

Other then that I'm just sore from the asphalt surfing I was doing..

[Mr Lefty]

hopefully it's nothing... my right ankle has snaped and popped ever since I rolled it horibly in HS... but never gives me issues...


good luck though
