    I'm impressed.
    Hooked up the video, twisted the throttle, had a serious crack and pushed the limits. "If you don't crash...you're not going hard enough!" Stood up, walked away, and went straight to the bike to pick it up and start again. All time in my book!!

    haha i love that paragraph.

    The good news is @kiffsta care package arrived, mixing my good and his good the bike is now 100% mechanically back to normal, forks don't seem to be bent which is good. Only aesthetic damage at this point.

    I'm late to the party on this one, glad to see your ok and the bike is back in action. I smashed my R6 beyond all repair when I crashed it. And I walked away with bruised ribs after hitting a pole doing well over the speed limit. Lesson learned there. I thought as you did. The king on 2 wheels...... But reality woke me up very very fast and I know the heart break of being stuck with no transport and having to sit and look at what you did to you baby... humbled by my wreck I choose not to be the speed demon I once was but rather get my technique down in stead of the WOT. We are all still learning our own abilities and our bikes. Keep at it mate.

    This is the biggest reason I've never put mine on the track.
