LW SS crash in turn 1

[schmitty]

Does anyone have pictures of my crash in turn 1 on Sunday in the LW SS race?  I thought I saw a photographer by the fence as I was heading for the crash truck.  I'm AM #133 on a yellow Buell.  Just curious.

I prefer the upright ones

Man, you okay? I passed it all just before they red flagged the race.

[schmitty]

Yeah I'm fine, just bumps and bruises.  The worst of which is a badly bruised ego.   Oh well, how are you supposed to know where your limit is unless you push past it at least once.

Glad to see you're doing ok. Crashing sucks. But you and the bike faired pretty good. a gonna be at BHF in August? Get the bike home ok?

You went down right in front of me. I thought I was going to hit you. The back end just stepped out and over you went. hope you are all right

I'm planning on being there in August.  I'd hate to miss it.  Everything has comeback cheaper than I thought for repairs.  The most expensive part is going to be replacing my helmet!!

Barney,

thanks for not running me over !!  I still don't know exactly what happened.  All I know is that I started to tip it in and it stepped out and spit me off on my head.

Hey Ben,

Glad you're OK. Next Blackhawk let's take a look at your suspension settings, tire pressures, etc. We'll make sure your set up is good and then knock some more time off your laps.

The helmet did it's job! Time for a new one...

Like others have said, glad you are OK.  Too bad about the lid.
