I went to The Ridge Motorsports Park yesterday for a track day.
Had a great time the first couple of sessions, then I got too cocky and came in too hot on the last section and lowsided. The bike and I slid across 50 feet of pavement and then ended up in the dirt.
Im ok, a tiny spot of rash on my elbow and a stiff neck. The bike just got some cosmetic damage, the 5-0dro sliders saved my forks and most of the swingarm was untouched. The best investment for the bike was the EBR case covers, the left one ground down to almost nothing but not a scratch to the engine!
My Shoei Qwest is toast, but I think it held up pretty well for how fast I was going and how hard I hit. I was wearing a Cycle Gear Bilt track suit that held up just fine and can still be used, I just need to get the left arm zipper fixed.
