whoa dude looked like you were on the bitumen for a while rollling ya head around

[emuexport]

Hope he is ok and job good of SpeedTrip helpin out.

All the crash bungs that he had fitted saved his bike a shed load, the main one's being the front forks and engine. Without them his bike would have been a real mess.

This^^^^^
saved my bike big time. Although my bike is a bit heavier with all that basin sand and rocks etc

Hope it heals quick mate

Yeah me too mate. I tried to get up afterwards as the bike still looked alright from where I was on the ground and it wasn't till I tried to situp that the pain set-in and one of the Trkdayz crew told me to lie back down as my helmet was damaged. Needless to say I was happy to oblige.

Emu! Not the Superduke!? Tell me the baby is ok?
Oh, and I'm glad you didn't do too much to yourself either...

The Superduke was well protected and came off much better than me. Just a few scratches on the right fairings and thats it really besides worn metal and sliders etc.

Sounds like a conspiracy to get the green whistle !!!
On a serious note Glad to hear you're okay and the bike held up better then expected. Hope the shoulder heels fast for you. No heavy lifting for you.

Oh the green whistle!
Hopegully I'll be back on the bike in no time.

Here is the vid the crash is in the last 30 secs if you want to skip. It went squirelly a couple of laps earlier on turn 1 and I think what happened was I was going too fast into the corner and leant the bike over too much and it just let go. Both the front and rear washed out from under me at the same time. Lesson learnt.

Hmmm as long as you dont mix green whistle with bike !
Hope youre back on soon. Actually you might be on sooner with a green whistle.. oh back in your corner SC, dont go putting ideas in peoples heads.

Looks like you turned in quite a bit later than the laps before, but aiming for the same corner entry point...but that`s just from looking at the video. Were there any coaches behind you at the time?

[Luke]

Still on the warmup laps, but you were looking pretty good (no homo)....

ha ha watched clip over an over just for the monty python

Looked like the black line on the track made the tyre let go...

this is half a second before the slide as he is moving toward the apex...

never noticed this the first time was it rubber or oil does appear as the wheels crossed it the bike dropped
coincidence???

[Ozboy]

Ah, the old subluxation of the shoulder Justin?

Strange though, how did you managed to do the left one after falling on the right?

LMAO at your corner speed V's straight line speed, I see what you meant now about being left behind on the straights and catching everyone into the bends.

[Uni]

well it seems that you need to give me some details of your sliders then.. Sounds like you'd recommend them after all

Yeah Stephan I think you're right there I ran in faster and overshot my turn in point, didnt adjust for the speed accordingly. No coaches behind me mate I was all on my own for a few laps.

hmmmm dunno hey but it was almost instantaneous. Mind you this is my first real low side

Yep glad they gave me the laughing gas though when they popped it back in.
Not a care in the world.

I think when I came off I managed to slid on my face/head and then when I transitioned from the track to the sand my right shoulder dug in and popped out. Just from the different types of damage to my jacket.

At least it's faster than the 250 even sideways down the basin.

I think if I could get smoother and get cranking out of the corner sooner that would help more. I think I've found some good lines and was still getting used to the speed etc of the new street brawler.

Next time I'll try and spend more time in the track.

This is what saved my bike from more damage GB Racing I thought it was he best given all the shapes of the superduke.

On that point, how did the tank go? did the bars and knob keep it off the deck, or did the "spoiler" to quote the manual take the brunt?

[Luke]

ha ha watched clip over an over just for the monty python

heh, thought it appropraite...that KTM looked mint!

Yeah the "spoiler" copped it where it bulbs out for the rad cap. No tank damage at all.

Yeah it did I'll have to watch it again. Ahh it only needs a bit of a wash and she'll be awesome again!
