This had to hurt!

Hard face-down landing on pavement, with a transition in to a relatively smooth slide across the grass and run-off area.

The GoPro is mounted on the rear of my 09' 848. I don't believe the rider was injured--at least I didn't see the ambulance go out--and the crash truck had his bike loaded and back in the paddock in no time at all.

... Dude, I hope you and your bike made out okay on this one!

That moment when you think "Oh, shit. I must be crashing." Then wait for it to stop. :D

Whoops! Yea, he hit the ground hard didn't he! :(

Its funny, I've never been really hurt during the crash, it always happens afterwards. LOL
On my last crash: aside from braking 9 ribs, one finger, hyper-extending my left elbow, dislocating my left shoulder, puncturing my lung, kidney and bruising my heart........................................................ it didn't hurt a bit! :violin:
I reckon it was your fault Charles. He was trying to keep up with you!

:D

Your bike sounds nice.
Someday I hope to be as smooth on/off the throttle as you are!
So correct me if Im wrong...


The bad:

Too hot into corner entry.

Not running a good race line thus running wide, leaned more, then knee dragged too abruptly, picked bike back up slightly when he panicked as he was running out of track and grabbed front brake....


I hope this guy is OK.
