3rd trackday of the new season and only went and highsided at the nurburgring on tuesday.:headshake. cracked left ankle,and ligament damage in the left shoulder and right knee so i,m sidelined for a few weeks(gotta cancel Assen and Bilster Berg):cry:.
just saw the bike and i have to say that the carbon casings and R&Gs have once again saved my baby. rear cowling is cracked,left rearset is fekked .carbon bellypan and carbon engine casing both have tasty holes in them but nothing else. swingarm and fork protectors did their job and the frame protector is nicely rubbed down by about 2 inches(GOD BLESS R&G RACEPRODUCTS) i really cant recomend their crash bungs enough its just a shame they dont make anything for us riders:lol:

Oh man, that sucks. Always hate to hear someone went down. :sad:
On a positive note, you live to fight another day!
And what's more, so does your lady! (with a minimal damage) :smile:

Got R&G frame sliders myself & I must say EVERYONE who crash - tested them, speaks very highly of them!
Only, I haven't fitted them yet! I haven't done it since drilling is required, and I am reluctant... To my mind, it kinda defeats the purpose :lol:

But your post will promp me to do it rather sharpish though... I think I will invest in some aftermarket fairings and drill that instead :badteeth:

Get well soon mate!

Good to hear the bike is OK. Oh, and you too,lol. Heal up man. Look at it like now you have an excuse to mod the bike even more. Good way of justifying it especially if you got a significant other.

cheers m8:thumbsup:.
think the bike is gonna go all carbon if i can buy it without the other half find out:lol:
not much point trying to get the fairing pieces repaired if i can find some bargain carbon:wink:
the rearset has pissed me right off as they were gilles and to buy replacement parts for them is almost as expensive as a complete replacement so i may have to look for another brand of rearsets:dontknow:

Damn, hate to hear that about you and your ride bro.
Hope you and the 10 heal up fast.

You know the old saying,
If you've never been down,
You ain't riding hard enough.

Sorry to hear that. Left ankle---that's the shifting one, both on a bike and in a car. At least you have an excuse to take it easy for a few weeks. :smile: Get well soon!

you,l have to excuse the shakiness in the pic quality. just hobbled out to the garage:lol:. missus thinks i,m fekkin nuts.

GOD BLESS R&G.( and carbon of course ,you,l see in 1 pic it rashed through 2 carbon layers b4 it reached the casing !)

without these mods, damage costs would be a heck of a lot more
