Cheesy oil catch?

My bellypan came off in a trackday in 2008. I was just coming around turn 4 at Loudon when it broke off and I ran it over flipping it into the air. Fortunately, it didn't cause anyone else any harm. I didn't know what happened until I was in the pits and walked away from my bike then walked back to it.

All I felt when it happened is something hit my left foot, and the back end shimmy a little. I revised my mounting points after that.

Back in the 90's I witnessed a friends side fairing fly off his F2 while he was racing someone (100+ MPH), that thing flew above the trees lining the road (over 40 ft.) then smashed down onto the pavement out in front of me  :wtf: - that made me very cautious about things being attached to my own bikes.

In the mid 90's at Firebird, my buddy's exhaust can flew off his Hawk GT at the end of the straight, right before the (old) chicane.  He was far left on the track- I was left center, about 20 yards behind.  All I remember was thinking, as I slowed for the chicane, "Was that an exhaust can that almost hit me?!?!?" Literally missed it by inches.

I knew it was his as I passed him in the carousel, and his Hawk sounded like Fat Albert after eating @ White Castles.  :thumb:

It would be running if someone (you, Randy) didn't get called into work!  LOL
