Fell Off

[Nathan]

Last week, one of my mates races an RGV250 and he has a bit of land what he has a little track on, for testing and stuff, its only like a big ring, (2 straights and a corner at either side) so he says to me come on for a few hours, so i throw all my old plastics and tank on my nsr whilst my good ones are being sprayed, i was down there for just over an hour when i pinned it all the way up the straight at 120mph and braked a bit too late, ended up doing 60mph into the corner, and i thought, no chance im not staying on. so halfway into the corner i slide off... im very lucky it was my old plastics, grazed my nose fairing, side fairings and grazed the exhaust, so thats the only thing that ive gotta replace... so now my poor bike is sitting in my back yard waiting fo rmy new repainted plastics.

lucky me!


you cant really see the damage in this pic...

Glad to hear YOU are okay. I just wish some of the nutcases on sportbikes would "take it to the track" like you did instead of using public roads.

ive been wanting to get one of the nsr just for tracks(maybe a few late night street riding also).

are they pretty cheap(used), reliable and all that. any problems i should be knowing about?

i got mine brand new... quite cheap, so i had enough left to buy some new fairings for it and a tank, theyre getting resprayed like i said

and im not a nutter, just was trying to keep up with my friend who was doing 130 on his 250 lol so i thought if i outbrake him i should be able to catch up...
