I left the streets to avoid certain hazards, apparently deer doesn't know the difference. Only in my second session I met my fate with a large doe (she appeared large in my peripheral vision). I suffered a broken clavicle, and 2 additional ribs. See pixs below for body damage. Stator cover may need to be replaced, rear set, shield, helmet, lower faring, stay, clip on, front fender, fiber glass repair and bondo another repaint. All because of a damn lost deer. Bold items were recently replaced due to previous incident.

Gear did its job

But I fared better than this fellow!

Here's two guys at summit point week and a half ago! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW7ktbJzpPs Yep deer don't listen around here either.

unfortunatly my only track get off was a forgot the front brake rule in the grass. Photog didn't get pics. So I guess I fail at contributing properly to this thread.

approx. 100mph, bike tumbled many times, and so did i. i did this leading the race, the subframe was about 10" off center and left clipon was bent in, and i still managed to finish 27th out of about 38ish...

Pics of the deer pls?

Just kidding, lmao!

Glad you are ok buddy. The track is still safer than the streets.

**ETenn600** · 06-23-2010, 04:21 PM

bmfgsxr- Was that at NSS? We were up there the last race watching and guy went down along the back straight. Looks to be about the same place as you in the pic. If it was you hope you are all healed up now!

during a track day at njmp thunderbolt, in team pro-motion's advanced/expert group, in the pouring rain, i decide to test the strength of my 1k's vortex rearsets and dave gowland's frame sliders...

**jtsgsxr6** · 06-23-2010, 06:30 PM

out of curiosity, do you remember what type of tires you were on? Full wets, dot's, something else?

NJ racer...... post mine up. You have them more accessible than I do of my crashes that have photos

Anthony D · 06-23-2010, 07:46 PM

i was on the bridgestone rains, they are amazing tires. i just got too greedy with the throttle, and ran out of talent.

turk, that was a few years ago at new jersey motorsports park thunderbolt course, on a cold, wet, march day.

**jtsgsxr6** · 06-23-2010, 08:13 PM

not hard to get greedy on a 1K.

**Mars750** · 06-23-2010, 09:39 PM

Turk, when did this happen ?

**Mars750** · 06-23-2010, 09:41 PM

Sound like you did a good job finishing the race.
