Took my CBR instead of the 250, so I can't post in the ninjettes at speed forum this time. :P

Link to original page on YouTube.

Had a nice little lowside at the end of the video. Got a little tired (it was over 100 degrees) and made a stupid mistake by rolling off the throttle EXITING a turn. I don't know why I did... Tucked the front seconds later.

Here's some pics from the day as well. The black bike some of the pics is my buddy Chris who was filming.

Here's the lowside

Yup, so far this board is missing a "cbr's tumbling in the dirt" area.

Glad you're OK, sorry about the machine... That's actually a pretty strange place to crash at BW, glad it was relatively tame all things considered.

Great Joseph! Until I saw the last picture sequence :O Buttonwillow + you = bad luck it seems. Sorry I didn't text you back! I thought I did haha.

Glad to see that you are ok, and not TOO many pieces of your bike came off. All in all, riding the track looks like a hell of a lot fun, minus the crashing.

NP, Chris. I didn't wanna pester you too much since I knew I was gonna ride the CBR and not bring the 250.

It's all part of the game. I like to think I'm getting all of my get offs and mistakes out of the way now and once I work out the kinks I'll be a lot better for it.

CBR is great. It's very light and nimble. A good transition from the 250.

ninjabrewer · July 20th, 2009, 08:52 PM

what was the damage to your bike, I saw a piece that came off.

Sorry about the crash. I see how your friend did not stop to see if you were ok. He just kept going.

RaceBikeRentals · July 22nd, 2009, 03:26 PM

Crashing sucks, but glad you lived for another trackday

You never, ever, ever stop on the track when somebody else crashes. It can cause even more carnage as traffic at speed behind you comes up on an unexpectedly stopped bike. The marshals/turnworkers are trained to deal with the incident, and get the track shut down ASAP if needed so medical help or any other logistical help can get to the downed rider as quick as feasible.
