Is it OK to cry?

[chaplain220]

Just the thought of havin a Harley in my garage is enough to make me cry...or throw up in my mouth ::).  Yup, sittin on the tire wall at Summit turn 10, starin at the smear of plastic n parts culminating in the pile that was my bike...can definitely bring a tear to the eye.  Tellin my wife I need to tap the kids college fund again to repair my addiction...Lots of cryin n poutin till I get my toy fixed.  Hope all yoots guys heal up quick after the Summit turn 4 crash.

What's a "yoot"?

Is there crying when the dog no longer likes peanut butter

as in two yoots. keeping your cool shows discipline. we can't have the spectators think your uncool.my wife is the one that can't keep her cool. especially when she gets the bill

last lap. thru the kink into last corner, Blackhawk Farms, MW SB. 1st and second place get tied up behind back marker, i dive to inside, make the pass on all three and lose the front end mid corner..........i didn't cry but i threw one of my gloves damn near 1/3 of the front straight....... or so it seemed at the time.

It's one thing to get mad and upset.  Throwing gloves or helmet really no biggie to most corner workers, actually quite comical sometimes. 

It's another thing to create more work for everyone else though.  I've seen a couple times when racers have smashed their windscreen with their fist for whatever reason.  Someone has to pick that crap up.

Confessions of a corner worker... yes I have giggled when you have thrown your gloves... especially when you throw them two different ways and have to then go look for them

I have seen lotsa guys do that, and truly never understood it. 
Everytime I have crashed, I was either delighted that I was uninjured, or the times I have broken bones (several) I was happy that it was not a severe or permanent injury.
The position I lose in a race from crashing, or the damage to the motorcycle, mean nothing to me.....If I am unhurt, I am greatful. 
You could set my bike on fire, I honestly could give 2-poops, as long as I am OK.

Even when I was hurt after crashing, the first thing out of my mouth was always: "How's the bike?"

I've seen people getting boarded up, ready to be transported via flashy box and their only concern is exactly that.  "How is my bike"?

[spyderchick]

Sick, aren't we?

I have to admit, after this last crash, instead of my first thought being "how is the bike"...it was ....oh shit did I break my collarbone again!?!?......


THEN I ran over to see how the bike was...


I agree...its a sickness!
