So I got on the gas a little too early comming out of turn 12., lost the rear end., went sliding superman style., bent the footpeg and scraped my leathers a bit., coudnt shift anymore so it ended my saturday early., 2WCP straightened my rearset, just need to put it back together and ride some more tomorrow. ;D( Thanks Steve!!!)

well, it doesnt look like i gased it too early., I really dont know what happened., It felt just like any other time i took that turn., Just lost the rear all of a sudden. ???
Heres the video.

Yup, it doesn't sound like you gave it any more gas than you should. Checked your tires?

Tach doesn't say you are up in in the power band there. Looks like you might have been right over that trench bump.

I know it's a terrible feeling Jenx. I had an experience like yours last track day too. Sometimes you think you're doing everything well when suddenly boommmm!!!!  ;D

Thats exactly what I was thinking too. Looks like you lost traction going over that bump.

First lap cold tires?

When I ride my 250 over that bump I have to lift my ass up off the seat. My 600, I guess I just unweight a little.
