Bike crashes
Mods - please move as you see fit.
I finally found the pictures I've been looking for a while, although I've not looked very hard for them. The pieces of bike on the tarp are of a friend's 2001 (?) R1 Champions Edition that hit a car head on and well, you see what happened. My friend walked away with a sore ankle, he basically fell off the bike before it impact, lucky for him. The Suzuki GSXR 750, was at the track. It was an endurance bike Erik was riding with 2 other guys. They were on the last guy (not Erik), last hour and Mike went down in the kink at Nelson Ledges (very high speed area). He also walked away with a sore ankle and otherwise unscathed. The guy in red is Mike, who crashed. |

Sweet jesus on the first one. That guy is so lucky, I've never seen one that torn up. The track wreck I've seen similar. I've got an acquaintance who makes a habit of crashing his 600 racing bike every time he takes it out, race or just track days. Someone he always manages to walk away unscathed as well, but you'd swear looking at the bike there'd be no way.
I didnt realize Kerry was with the guy who passed. Is Kerry ok? Anyone talked to him? |
