ok, so it looks like the rider is alright, now for the important question. IS THE BIKE ALRIGHT?

The point of the thread/picture was that the gauge cluster is in the middle of the air and the tachometer is showing 10kRPM...

I got it, it had me rolling...where exactly is it at tho where there is so much green?

Lolz. You are an asshat.

Ha! His tach was like: "Fuck this, I'm out!"

thinkin old pic. or in the south. you should still be surrounded by green.
Hell, we're still green under all the water and leaves!

Awesome picture.

is it me or does it look like a old sschool cell phone in the air

I'm not even sure it works when its that far away from the bike... does it have a wireless signal?


on a side note great advertisement for bridgestone...

"theres a reason moto GP stopped using Michelin tires..."

Throttle might have gotten pinned as bar hit ground.

ooof.

Hell yes, the brick nokia.

:iagree: It did take me a second but I got it. :lol:

That's one hell of a shot. Any idea what track it came from? I can pull some information from the shot (like it was taken on 2008:05:18), but the photographer didn't embed any info other than the basic that the camera records.

And if I was to guess, I'd say that the "cell phone" is the left side peg hanger.

the photographer was like, "fuck the bike or the rider, i'm gonna grab a shot of the tach!"

rider has the bigfoot pose going for him

I believe the photo was taken at Grattan

I had a similar experience at VIR last year.

Here is the highlights: (yes I bought the pictures from the guy)

Yeah Sig, that tach was definitely running for its life.

Nice pics and glad to see that you're ok.

Amazingly i patched the bike back together with a fiberglass kit and some duct tape..........replaced a clip on and raced the next day. :rockout:

Only injury was a ruptured bursa in my elbow. :dthumb:

didn't know tachs came with an ejector seat :lol:

Haha nice pics sig! There's nothing that makes a crash a little less shitty like some good crash photos :lol:

IMG tags FTW.

:wtfru:

big ass pictures shouldn't use img tags FTW!

I didn't put them in the post for a reason.

I couldn't agree more. :dthumb::rockout:

Nice r6 btw. You might appreciate the thread I just posted... made a little pickup for the winter mod schedule ;)

Just don't let this happen to yours. :)

Well I have a spare subframe and a spare gas tank, so that looks like about a 20 minute fix in the pit garages :D

Other than the bent forks that was about right. :)

Oh.....and a replacement wiring harness.

Ouch.

You've gotta crash that bike pretty hard to bend those forks.

Hmm not sure if its there... I cant picture any big grassy hills like that at grattan... but I don't pay attention to the scenery too much either. If I could see the pavement I could tell you for sure.

Go big or go home right? :dthumb:
