Really dude? Someone as informed as you isn't using AdBlock? I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in 3 years.

Agreed, Firefox has sucked recently (i think its slow), but AdBlock & Chrome make a nice combo
(and just to add a relevant comment for the OP....I was the first 'Like' on your vid Thx for posting!!)

I have lucked into some killer deals/sales from ads but since I started using adblock I don't think I can go back to seeing the bulk of ads on sites. And it helps with my crappy backwoods bandwidth here in the hills of KY.

Looks like SMX-5 boots? Not a diss on you or anything, but the smx5 isnt really a track boot meant to take a hit like that, a pair of super tech R's may have had a different outcome
Sucks about your foot though! Hope it heals up quickly! +1! But other then that the track looked beautiful

Do you believe the A* boots would have prevented your injury where the AXO did not?

heal well fast! Those were some pretty baller skills in the turns, anyone can go fast in a straight line lol.
Noob question though...what do you (or anyone else think) was the cause of this? Overloading the tires with too much acceleration and turning? Any way to recover? |

The kickstand mount (welded to the frame) hangs really low and limits ground clearance on the left side. I rotated on top of the kickstand mount, which lifted the rear wheel off the ground causing the lowside. **Notice: the 2013 models have the whole kickstand assembly tucked away nice and neat ** |

I just noticed this video on youtube. When I saw your description of what happened it made me worried I might catch my kick stand... then I saw how low you went before it caught and decided that it probably wont be a problem for me lol! I did scrape a foot peg feeler once, but that has been my limit!
It's nice to hear Kawasaki have sorted out this issue on the 2013 ninjette. @Penguin1120: How's your foot now? |

Op it appears you had the bike too far leaned over. Just before you crashed your head was in with the top of the bike and not on the left side "kissing" the mirror. You appeared crossed up. Doing good til then though. I was rooting the whole time for you to pass the Gixxer twit.
