the weather was pretty nice down there yesterday and the track dried out by the afternoon.my day was going decently until the session after lunch that is when i exited the track.the track was still real green not a lot of grip and i was on new tires that ihad never used before(not that is excuse).i guess what happened was the back tire broke loose exiting the corner and i lost control for a second and ended up getting onto the wet grass with throttle wide open.needless to say once that happened i cuold not save it.my bike is pretty mess up but i am ok luckily brian and joe were down there to help me put in my truck.thanks guys.it was still a fun time.

Is this Rob? **** that sucks to hear man. Did Joe or anyone else crash?
I LOVE riding Hallett after it has rained and cleaned off the race line, but like you said, some of the other parts can be slick, especially after getting the confidence of being on the race line.
Glad to hear you did not get hurt.

It was a awsome day. Martha figured out how to spin up the rear on the R6 coming out of a corner and Joe and I tuned in the 636 most of the day. To bad we had truck problems and got stranded at a truck stop with the trailer until about 11:00 last night, we didn't get in until about 2:30 this morning. Ford came and got the truck but wouldn't tow the trailer so we had to wait at the truck stop until Martha's dad could make it down with his truck to tow the trailer home. The truck is still in Tulsa getting a water pump or something put on it since it puked all the water out of it.
**** powerstroke diesel. Pulls like made but breaks shiz all the time.

What are you doing with the bike now? Fixing it, racing it, or turning it over to the insurance? I would like a chance to buy the bike, you know Suzi's are my favorite, and I need a beat up 600 for stunting.

Hey Frank, don't you mean "I need ANOTHER beat up 600 for stunting."

Yeah, I guess, lol. The F2 leaves a bit to be desired, and the Liter Gixxers are both just TOOOOOOo much. Liters are good for the old school fast HWY wheelies, etc, I have a difficult time doing slow wheelies on one. That is where the 600's come into play.
