Thats awesome. I bet you could make some money on this if the price stays low and you part it out.

I bet you could make some money on this if the price stays low and you part it out.The front end is mangled, the rear subframe is missing, the swingarm is trashed, the frame is destroyed, the engine has a knock, the tank is disfigured, and the transmission won't shift out of 4th gear. Wtf are you going to sell off of it, the front sprocket? :D :D :D

I was about 6-7 seconds behind Johnny when he crashed. It was just a lowside... on a 4th gear pinned turn ;) That turn is really really fast.

The pistons and rods are still good ;)

Yep, Haner is super fast and typically does not crash.

Dear Mike Ridenhour,
Do my answers about crash parts make any sense now?

Riddy, You asked awhile back if it hurts to crash. I think those pictures will make you understand the severity of a crash and what can happen in a split second when you ride on a track.

That has to be one of the worse bikes I have seen after a wreck. That thing is devastated. It would make you wonder if the rider lived or not

Hurt is temporairy unless you die. :)

The joy of riding is a memory that will live on forever.

JP.

Hope you get that bike Frank. :)

In my opinion, it is COMPLETELY different on the track. I look at the bike and think, man that is going to cost a lot of $$$ to fix/replace. I would assume the rider is ok since I have never been to a racers funeral.

Now if that happened on the street, I would wonder what; pole, house, ditch, truck, combine, guardrail that bike hit and I would expect a fatality.

John Haner walked away a little bit some because we have the luxury of a football field of run off room in nearly every direction. Crashing doesn't cause harm/death, it is what you impact. Many racers have been down at 150 MPH+ and walked away. Then you take the 35 MPH guy on Glenstone that has a car left turn in front of him and dies.
