At Calabogie last Monday into turn 8 had a brain fart missed my tip in, realised it, tried to pick up the bike aimed as straight as I could for the grass, as soon as I hit the grass I went down, probably at 65-90 KMH, bike has full Armour Bodies race body work, Sato frame sliders, Woodcraft rear sets Woodcraft clip-on's and Sato frame sliders, Pazzo sorties, G.B engine covers.
I went down on the expensive side (1199 S) left side, damage..... the sato frame slider big mushroom bolt bent but did not break, the rest of the slider was ok no damage, the engine case covers held up no problem, the left clip-on bent at about 50 degrees outward, did not break, Pazzo's untouched, the wood craft rearset bracket broke clean off not the frame piece the piece that bolts to the frame piece the peg did not shear off? The double bubble smoked screen shattered, The seat unit took most of the force of the low side, still repairable, bad news....the upper fairing stay broke in half and the lower triple broke off the left steering stop.
The bike was about 25 feet from the edge of the track when we stopped moving, looks like is span around which is why the bar was bent outwards, did not touch my helmet, there were grass stains all over the back of my brand new suit.... no damage though.
The body work was repairable $200, the lower triple $555, upper fairing stay $285, new bolt for frame slider $2,00, rear set bracket $85, new screen $100, I have to put the forks on a jig and check they are true, apart from that I think that's all"¦.. got trapped under the bike banged up my left knee and upper thigh strained my groin, pull my left shoulder"¦a week later starting to walk better!
at least the bike will be ridable again who knows if the damage would have been any worse without the Sato sliders ?
