I've been around, decided to take some classes at UNR this semester so its been busy.  Just bought some new leathers though, looking to break 'em in properly with a good day at the track.  You going to be there Luke? 

I'll be on the look out for a slow 250 ;)  Did you get rid of the TZ?

I meant for that to be directed to Eric- I would have been more clear but I forgot his name.  Thanks for reminding me. 

Sounds like a gas... I guess its good that you are getting it done before the heat hits.  Hope to see ya out next time

I'll be breaking in a new crank-up engine rebuild of the TZ250 so it will be slow for several laps.

Lots of crashes today. One was n10sive in turn 1, but somehow he walked away from it.

Title: Re: Z2 This Weekend?
Post by: n10sive on May 09, 2009, 09:45:48 PM
nothing like a high speed high side :(

Just got home from the hospital. Couple broken ribs, some really major road rash on my shoulder. And some pretty good case of whiplash in my neck. All in all, I consider myself very lucky to have 'walked away' from it.

Not real happy with my leathers...somehow the zipper ripped open exposing my shoulder to the road. *ouch*

Going to be sore for awhile...and I now am the proud owner of a trashed SV *cry*

Sorry to hear about your crash Dale. Glad your ok. Heal up, hope to see you out there soon.

Post by: Yard Sale on May 10, 2009, 08:56:29 PM
Ouch, I didn't know about the ribs.

Bike just looked like subframe and fairing stay, plus bodywork. Is the new helmet trash?

Many less crashes today and more laps.

I got hooked up with some instruction from Dan Sewell yesterday, I think only the second time I've availed myself of the opportunity for instruction at a trackday.

I milked my 600's rear tire to last the weekend then some last-minute suspension tuning killed it ungracefully. Got my forks fixed and maybe introduced a rear tire problem, oh well.
Title: Re: Z2 This Weekend?
Post by: n10sive on May 10, 2009, 09:04:04 PM
yeah...everything is pretty well trashed :(

Total damage: two broken ribs, very sore collarbone (surprised it isn't broke), bad road rash on shoulder, concussion, whiplash and numerous other things showed up today that I didn't feel saturday. I could hardly get out of bed today my head and neck hurt too bad.

What is very odd was that my leathers worked in reverse. My shoulder is burned down to red raw bleeding meat yet my leathers have no marks on that shoulder. The little finger on my glove was ripped off yet not a scratch on that finger. Knee area was ripped out but no knee damage. The CE armor in my elbows was worn through, and my helmet is cracked.

Got an email from someone today who was behind me and they said the bike landed on me too. So all in all I am counting my blessings. I came out pretty well off considering.

Glad to hear you are relatively ok considering. I was pitted a couple of spots from you and when your bike came back in I was afraid to see what kind of condition you were going to be in.
