I was riding on the backside of 9 with NewbinoR6 and ToNiC...me and Newbino were going at a pretty quick pace (I'd say I was riding at 85% of my limit) and I'm in the middle of a turn when a car who is dangerously speeding comes into my lane because he was going too fast..so I had 2 choices...straighten the bike up and lose my line nor hit the car dead on.
So I straighten the bike for a split second and try to get back down, but I was going to go way too wide and my speed was too fast...so I leaned it over as far as I possibly could...but it wasn't enough, and my tires hit the dirt...at this point I knew I was going to crash so I prepared myself..tucked my elbows in and closed my eyes and hoped I'd come out in once peice...so I feel myself hit the side of the cliff...then I land on my back and the bike lands on top of me...I slide for about 50 feet and come to a stop. The bike by now was in front of me and I got up to check for any broken bones...to my amazement everything was working fine...but my knee was hurting. So I double check my foot/ankle/toes to make sure they were all working...
If I wasn't wearing my suit, my knee would have most likely been shattered. I don't know exactly how it got hurt either. So Newbino ran home and got his truck and we took it home.
Parents said I can't ever ride as long as I live with them, so I gotta respect their wishes...gonna fix up the bike and sell it...
So, now lets get to what I did wrong..
I was riding faster than I should have. I was in control of what I was doing..but I didn't leave a cusion for what other peopel might do. If I had been going slower I could have had enough time to turn without hitting the dirt. I just want to say that all you guys who ride should ALWAYS leave room for other peoples mistakes..you never know when some retard will be in your lane or if there will be a big object in the middle of the road.
Oh yea, and I have a Keith Code trackday comming up on Monday at Sears Point. I can't bend my leg too much so I am in no condition to ride again...(parents forbid me anyway) so if anyone wants to buy my spot for like $350-$450ish let me know (cost me $600)....buyer will get to ride their new 636..so you don't have to take your own bike.
Now, on with the flames.
EDIT: I wanted to add one more thing. Leathers saved my fucking skin. For all you who are giving yourself excuses not to buy a full suit...GO GET ONE NOW...I would have had road rash up the ass and a shattered knee if I didn't have my gear on.
GO BUY LEATHERS NOW! It will save your life.
