cornerspeed trackday report (6.1.09)

Man that is unfortunate. It sucks bad enough to go down but I'm sure you feel terrible that you took someone out.

that's really what i feel bad about. i know i'll make mistakes and go down (i do not wish for this to be a frequent occurence), but taking someone else out when it wasn't his fault at all is what really kills me. i couldn't go without giving him some money for parts as a minimum and we exchanged contact information afterwards. it will definitely affect how i ride next month at NJMP, especially since it's a brand new track for me.

Brake fade is not a problem I hear about much for bikes since most of the time the brakes are pretty strong on supersports. But I guess upgrading the braking system is a no-brainer considering how bad things can go if you don't.

same here, which is why i didn't change the oem fluid. i read on 600rr.net that guys were still using the same fluid with little to no issues. i will not follow that advice any longer and treat it the same as when i was in the car before and change it before every event. it was a very stupid and tough lesson... :x it's easy enough to do anyways :oops: i'm just glad that the damage to both bikes were somewhat minimal and that both him and i are 'ok'
