Thanks guys. Felt horrendous but spent the day working on body position and target fixation. Had some good results, wound up in urgent care this morning though. Lol, that's life!
Thanks for the encouraging words, Cooter--It is only a 2500 mile round trip. I worked it out for the Pickup towing the camping trailer w the bike in the bed. Maybe sounds weird but for fuel worked out to $666.66666667--sure-- number coincidence, right?
Throw in another $500(food) plus the $100 plus etc--so say a $1500 weekend.
Heck that is only 5 months paymts

Portland International Raceway is MUCH closer to you and a bucket list track for me
I missed the last track day of the season. (sept 20) Weather showed rain till the morning of. :upset: 3.5 hr drive from me. Only track I've been on is The Ridge
Oh and its on the schedule for MotoAmerica 2020
Oh and no since I missed the last track day...I think I'm starting to go through withdrawals. I due fully blame everyone here, Especially WC for giving me a hell of a deal on his gear. Dam you all.
In a few months I will likely be outside shoveling snow in my motorcycle gear. :topsy_turvy:

I think the before picture looked better (aside from the seat). I'm not kidding. LOL.
But Bubbles had a great day on the un-killable Blast
Its the official last track day for that thing, Bubbles has amazing corner speed (remember "Blast" lol) but got too fast for it and is tired of getting passed on the straights just to have them park it on the next corner in front of her.
She went shopping...
Pics to come!:angel:

That sucks, I'm glad your O..K. If I'm reading your post correctly, your saying that you believe you hit the slider before the foot peg ?
Thanks guys, ya I'm all good. A very soft low side, the rest was damaged with me off the bike. And crazy, but I don't normally run axle sliders ever? I'll put on case protection and that's about it.
I was overheating the front while trail braking, so I stopped doing that...got a front scoop... that needs RX sliders to mount.. and they come in a set... so....lesson learned
And that is really the rub. The day was smooth, I didn't feel like I was pushing past any comfort zone at all? I had even been around that corner faster before. I really need to start getting off the bike more than I do now. I feel the EBR really likes body english and responds better while hanging off the inside. Just need to do it more.
The low side was just so unusual? I put on the Q3+ that morning and not even a wiggle from it all day. Rock solid. Then grind/whoop! It was so crazy that checking the hard parts was the first thing I did and surprise! I even thought I just rode off the edge of the tire, but no to that too. Lame but I think better body position will stop this from happening again the same way.

Glad you are OK.
Do you think you still would have laid it down if the sliders weren't in place? Or would you still likely have hit something "hard" on the bike if the slider wasn't there?
