Crashed around 10am....rode the rest of the track day just fine, if a little sore.  :laugh:

Here's a taste of what's in the photos...  :icon_rolleyes: :laugh:

I get blamed for EVERYTHING around here!
:woohoo:

LOL wow, glad your  okay.  Thats the good kind of crash lol. You have a sv650, cool.  Im looking into upgrading to one, and your red one is nice! The other option for me would be a sv1000, but Im not sure I could pick one up easy if/when I drop it.  What are your thoughts on the two bikes, being u own a sv650..You look like you enjoy it.

thanks for putting up the pics!

My 2001 GS500 was totalled Nov 4 2008
Now own 2003 SV1000 and love it!

On those days when life is a little too much and nothing seems to be going right, I pause for a moment to ponder the wise last words of my grandfather:  "I wonder where the mother bear is?"

Glad to see you're alright and you got right back on her :thumb:  What was he handing you in pics 39-41?  Was that a chunk of fender?  Anyhoo, seems like the bikes pretty ok and you can make one badass flip book with those pics

Wow!  Nice crash!  But...  Where are you?

Oh..  Wait a minute, you're that pile of silver and black leading the bike into the gravel!  Ow!   :icon_mrgreen:

The photographer got a GREAT series of crash shots!  My god, he has a fast finger.   :o

So, beyond brushing up your mad crashing skillz, did you learn anything?   :)
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Wow girl. That looked rough with a "let me see what the dirt looks like under the top layer" view!  :o

That pic of your arms in the air is priceless and probably  just what I would do in the same situation.  It looks like the TC was trying to tell you to stay down after arriving.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and I am happy to know you kept on riding through it.  :thumb:

The pics of me with my arms in the air...I was just raising my arms to let the towers know I was OK....LOL! I wasn't mad or frustrated...I was trying to breathe.....wind knocked out of me....  :bs: :laugh:

Get a super moto next time you want to do it in the dirt.

Good to hear you were ok and got back in the saddle. Sometimes going down gets unnerving.
Common sense in not very common.

I know...I gotta do bettah next time...  :cry: :flipoff: :laugh:

LOL!! Yes, pandy butt is figured prominantly in that serious...fortunately, the photog was kind enough not to make my butt look TOO big! :icon_razz:

Domindart: the SV is a Sherman tank!!! He's almost indestructible (knock on wood)!!! He's also very forgiving of n00b errors, as is the GS500. He's actually not all that hard to pick up when dropped (ask me how I know this....bwahahaha!!!). He's a great bike to follow the GS!

The SVs is actually in surprisingly good condition. Front fairing's cracked, so I have one on order. The instructor who was checking me over was handing me my face shield (it flew off so that I could have a yummy dirt sammich) and my front right blinker...that's the same damned blinker I break over and over and over. sigh LOL I did ride him for the rest of the day (after visiting Dave Moss for suspension/fork adjustment). =)

Shiz: my volvo is ok this time, but damned if I don't have a third breast... (chest is where the windscreen or handlebar hit me this time)

Yama: yes on the lowside....with more experience, I could have simply ridden it out in the dirt, but my n00b brain grabbed the front brake and down we went.

I learned what NOT to do when going into the dirt: do not..I repeat....do NOT grab your front brake! bwahahahaha!!! I also learned that I need to slow down and LEARN the track first... I didn't know that corner, so I went in WAY too hot. I should have taken it easier for a few more laps/session/days/months/years!

As for "sex" beside the track..uh...does riding my SVs hard and putting him away wet count? :P

Today I'm sore, sore, sore; I probably bruised my ribs, but overall, I came out in good shape!  :icon_mrgreen:
