Sorry Knightslugger....it had to be done, bro! :cheers:
Welcome to the world of trash talk and bench racing! :spank:
I think your transponder might be mounted a little forward of the rear axle and your number plate isn't very easy to read.
Bring it back after you take care of those 2 items and we'll see what we can do to get you out for the next practice session. :thumb:
Oh, and bring your riding gear with you when you come to Tech!
Oh c'mon Burt, you didn't even spot the hole in the belly pan, granted, it is bigger than the belly pan.......
I'd make sure that the throttle snaps back. The cable routing looks a little iffy.
You guys are being too picky. However, I did notice that the rear brake doesn't work properly.
Gotta have you go back and bleed that a little bit.
U forgot the most important thing. Where the hell is your CCS sticker? :spank:
I would like to point out that no kittens were harmed in by the sarcasm in this thread. :thumb:
Or hampsters.

Look closely, under the engine case cover...

....and there's a cut in the front brake line, but it's just a SCRATCH, so it should be ok! :ahhh:

I bet that has a higher rpm range then my bike.
Wait, isn't that what a suzuki is supposed to look like?
looks fine to me... :rofl:
All of that and only a "scratch" on your helmet? :biggrin:
ROFL !!! :lmao:
Hey Really F-n :finger: funny guys this is my bike . It happened at Homestead (07) off turn 10 at 140 didn't feel to good .I did not get hurt thank god . But it is all back together and better then ever and faster .
Glad to hear you were okay. And yeah, crashing sucks no matter what.
skiandclimb was using your crashed and trashed bike as an example to what can happen when you take safety equipment a little too lightly:

I'm sure you can attest to the fact that properly maintained gear can prevent some serious injuries.
Keep it shiny side up and running fast!

no. "live to ride - ride to die" is an example of what can happen when you take safety equipment a little too lightly, m'dear.
Yes I had some good gear on I wear Alpinestars MX 1 suit , Gp gloves , MX boots , chest and back protector . Don't forget the most important of them all the Helmet I wear Shoei RF 1000 soon to be RF 1100 , I replace my helmet each year that I have raced 5 of them so far working on 6 . The gear that I had on did it's job in that crash that I had . I was very impressed with it . I had to replace the suit , gloves , boots and helmet . The bike is a whole story in it self .

And as my good friend K3 would say: If you aren't prepared to have your equipment leave the track in the dumpster than you shouldn't be racing.
I believe there was a really cool picture at one point with a fork lift dumping a not so perfectly good racebike in the trash. C'est la vie! :ahhh: :biggrin:

Glad you were wearing both the BP and the chest protector. :thumb: I began pushing for more riders to wear them when a bunch of guys all in a row went to the hospital with broken ribs AND punctured lungs.

I started wearing a chest protector in 2008. It felt weird at first, but now I can not put my suit on without it.
eboos...
What kind of protector do you have? I have been looking to get one. I want really great back and chest protection. I have the Teknic backprotector now.
I've been using A* Bionic back and chest protectors. The chest protector is the slip in one with no hard outer shell.
I've had my eye on these though http://impactarmor.homestead.com/protectors.html
Have you fallen on it yet? I'll have to check it out.
Thanks.
Once or twice. lol
They worked with no problem.
I haven't highsided though.
