So, weird crash Saturday on the R11s. Lowside late in Turn 1 at PIR trying to go outside a slower rider. 75ish mph, nearly full lean. Running ~1:31s. About 90deg. Pressures 30f, 33r per the Bridgestone guy. No real indication I could feel that something was amiss until I was sliding. A buddy behind me says my rear went out, but the tire was still melty on the edge, not scrubbed clean. A bit weird. Best guess is I got wide enough to be on dirty track, and my footpeg lifted the tire before it could show the expected wear.

I walked off. Leathers and bike will need some work, but next round is still pretty doable.
