on the track of course At least it'll get my mom and g/f off my back about the bike for a little while.
I even have some pics of the aftermath which isn't too bad considering...... Anyways, the guy spun in the middle of turn 2, and I threw it sideways to try to avoid him and we hit my right rear to his left front sending my over. I went over fast enough that there was minimal damage to the top wing and NO damage to the front wing, but everything attached to the rear end is gone.

Hehe, it'd be nice if we could just get insurance on them.... Everyone gets torn up eventually. When there's a couple dozen cars going 100+ mph sideways on a 3/8 mile dirt track, something is bound to happen. Only weighing 1300lbs, its not unheard of to get upside down without ever making contact with anything.

That sucks man! I race TT on a quad (now called extreme dirt track) and the other weekend I came out of a sharp hairpin onto the front stretch and right after I caught traction and shifted to 3rd I nailed this guy, broke his swingarm ($1000). Turns out he was riding the bike because he was planning on buying it and then told the owner "I will buy it when it is fixed."

This kid deserved to get taken out, he blatently spun another guy, if anyone is familiar with TT you tap the rear brakes to slide the rear end out to set up for a corner, well this guy set up for the corner and the kid just went strait for him.
