A Nice Seafood Dinner

[ceo012384]

Then I crashed coming out of the bowl pretty hot trying not to mutilate a girl in front of me who lowsided and slid right on the racing line due to the slope of the ground.

Here's a shot of her sliding on the racing line:



Here's a shot of me and my bike barely missing her:



Getting up after the aftermath:










Blew out a seam on the IXS suit:





Held Phantoms held up great, left:



Right:



Helmet face shield (and chin a little bit):



Bike:



Can got squashed somehow, I think it hit the tires/fence:



Hands down, tank slider saved the entire bike. If you have a late model r6 and aren't running these, you're rolling the dice:

Figured out all the insurance stuff. Getting paid for the entire estimate of damages as well as a replacement helmet.

TONS of goodies are on the way and I'm picking up the bike this weekend and starting to take it apart.

Ordered about 3g's of stuff today

[ceo012384]

Organized/worked on the garage a bit:



Got new lid and got paid for it in full by insurance. Arai RX-7 Corsair Josh Hayes Replica:







The black paint is metallic... it's fucking sweet. I tried to get a closeup:









Got the check in the mail today for the entire estimate of damages.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to pick up the bike and a lot of the parts I ordered. A couple things won't be showing up until monday.

This bike is going to have a full kit of street and track gear, as well as lots of cool parts. And I still haven't spent all the money

Pretty much everything is organized and ready to get going, just waiting on a couple more parts.

Cleaned her up:



ArmourBodies track bodywork:



Parts ready to go:

Pulled the gas cap and fuel pump and cleaned the tank:



Jesus christ! I brought half of the turn 6 runoff gravel home with me...:



MMmmmmmm dirty track day oil:



Here's how she sits as of now, completely devoid of all fluids, plastics, radiator, exhaust, rearsets, etc etc...:

Picked up a full Zaino detailing kit... this shit is head and shoulders above other detailing products. No joke.

Now she's just hanging out waiting for next week's track days, as am I



Thursday at 2pm I'm getting a dyno and custom map done for the bike.

Monday on my way up to the track I'll be grabbing the bodywork.

[ceo012384]

Got a sweet sox flag for the garage from Ebbs (thanks!):

Got my suit back from repairs. Silver panel, black patch, and crotch patch are all new. Guy did an amazing job.











Bike felt fucking awesome at the track. Still waiting on pics and video and stuff... was only able to find one shot online:



Bodywork is back with the painter. Shit's gonna be sick.

More to come...

[ceo012384]

Mounted a hook for my suit in the garage



Received and installed the woodcraft 3 piece brake lever that was backordered



Threw a Puig black double bubble windscreen on the stock front cowling. Have a clear oem for the race plastics. No switching necessary now.



Threw on the new pazzo clutch lever, will keep the rashed one as a spare



Threw on a fresh set of stompgrips



Put most of the stock fairings and lights back on



I found a couple pics that some spectators took from the last track days. This series through T6 and T7 up into T8 I thought was pretty cool.





Hard on the gas




Wish this one was in focus, I like it.


Starting to pick my body up to throw it over into T8
