- 7-22-2024 The Ridge Motorsports Park. It was Apparently a bit colder and a bit more moist than I anticipated. OPRT does great track days. The Ridge is a world class facility. Lost the rear on a Dunlap slick in 4th gear on a 07 GSXR 600. Uphill, off camber plus a cold track and moist conditions. I'm lucky it wasn't a high side. Ill be back out there soon.
ah that's sad. Really nice of the guy to help you
@@kraftwels it’s his job as a control rider to help out idiots like me.
@@PleatherJacketit happens man don’t beat yourself up to bad. Bike doesn’t look to bad. Do you think you just have it to much throttle in the corner? Was something on the track?
@@alanluscombe8a553cold track conditions along with a half cold slick rear and the corner goes up and over a slight hill. Changing to track day slicks.
Handled it like a champ tho, definitely be like this guy
@@NereidPL thanks dude..
Damn man, had seen your bike in the truck on the way in. Then saw it out there. Was wondering what happened. Glad it was a lowside.
@@SeattleSpeed thanks. Dumb mistake on my part. Learn and move on.
I see this happen so often on track days where people are pushing on the outlap and it never ends well. My friend took a dip at that same spot 2 yrs ago
So many people (me included) have been caught out by that turn in the morning. Glad you're ok
I remember this one. I was grid starting that day. Glad to see your good. Bikes can be fixed!
thanks. respect turn 3!!
awww throttle too early. That sucks.
Lots of people bin it at this corner. I've been to the ridge for MotoAm 2x and I've seen it several times via youtube and that set of corners likes to get people.
That and the Chicane too.
Looked like a case of cold tires 😮 sorry you took a dip! Always a bummer but bikes can be fixed .
That stinks!!! Sorry, man. I'm glad you are ok.
@@carbocycle thanks brother
Aww man. Glad your ok. Hope your bike didnt get too damaged.
@@Tristan-el6hx thanks
You know the rest of the guys in the group were like "every fucking time, on the first lap!"
@@aluisious I’ve almost lost it there before a couple times. This time it finally bit me.
@@PleatherJacket I never ran slicks or warmers, so it would take me a couple laps to get the confidence to toss it off the track.
@@aluisious they aren’t worth it unless it’s super hot out already and you can make pace to keep them warm. Better things to focus on.
To much gas on the lean cold weather/tires? better next time 👌🏼
@@jackmatt1022 that pretty much sums it up lol. Cold track. Half warm slicks. Going over a hill.. all bad.
Too late for me, similar thing happened to me on the 8th (7-8-2024), mine was a highside though, I dislocated my pinky toe and broke the third and fourth metatarsal bones in my left foot, the breaks are still healing but I'm doing good, I can already walk without protective footwear, albeit carefully and against doctors orders hehe.
As for the bike most of the damage was cosmetic but my right clip on is bent, right footpeg snaped off, and my front brakes are basically gone, but the bike was functional enough someone rode it off the track for me.
Sorry about your luck dude. I’m lucky it was a rare rear end low side. Same damage as you, clip on and rear set. Slip on also took the brunt of the blow and accordioned it. Hope to see you back out there brother. Heal fast and stay safe
Sorry you crashed. I saw the bike on the wall
@@seraphim38 dumb mistake on my end. Didn’t respect conditions and temps. Paid for it. Will return for coaching next time
@PleatherJacket that area is super common for accidents due to the reduced traction from cresting the hill. All the OPRT instructors for your level have tons of experience and if I get assigned i wikl be happy to work with you!
What u think happen? Maybe too much acceleration in the corner possibly? Glad you were good 👍🏾
Up and over a crest with cold tires and track.
Ah mannn.. Hope you are ok and the bike does not have much damage. These things happen unfortunately.
Yeah I’m good. Suit ripped open at the seam I was grinding on so I got some road rash. Bike is always fixable.
Sweet bike and track! I am working to get my first track day in on my Ninja 650. Just ordered Michelin GP2s. I heard your engine rev at 0:35 when you gassed that 600 on the turn and that back wheel just broke loose. Sorry man.
@@StreetMotoZ colt track and tires that weren’t heated up all the way. I’m going away from slicks that need warmers, I’m not fast enough on a hot day to keep them hot. Going with track day slicks from metzeler
@@PleatherJacket Thanks PJ, there is much for me to learn about the track. It is a totally different animal than the street.
I did the same thing in the same place last year but it was worse cuz i only had 45hp lol
@@uncleartax it’s a bastard of a corner lol
Damn crazy someone stopped they usually just leave us there and we wait in the hot sun. My bike would have just been done receding out and blown up. Did your warmers not work or something ?
@@famouslyfamous433 warmers did in fact not work properly. Only got to 150 degrees I came to find out. So I’m gonna go with track day slicks from now on. No warmers needed. It was also cold that day and was misting heavily in that part of the track. So my tires got cold fast.
@@PleatherJacket I hear that I always sit out first session on warmers and always check temp before riding. Metzler makes a great slick that don’t need warmers. Or cup 2 is a good option
@@famouslyfamous433 I went with metzeler TD slicks. My buddy coaches for oprt and has 15 days on his tires with life left. Don’t gotta worry about warmers and temps. I should have never got slicks to begin with but were given to me for free so I figured why not.
@@PleatherJacket yeah I used metzlers till I knew I could keep up a good pace to keep them hot keep at it my guy.
@@famouslyfamous433 thanks bro. Hope to see you out there one of these days. If you see the ugly yellow and green gixxer say hi
Too much throttle for your lean angle?
@@kylewest4212 semi cold tires, cold track, uphill over a crest, got greedy on the gas. Paid for it
To Much gas coming out from the curve?
Cold tires, too much throttle
@@rogerdalva19765 the curve of the hill unloads the bike and I was in too hot for the cold track.
@@PleatherJacket Got it, live and learn as you said. Hope i wont make that mistake in the future.
how much damage on the engine?it wasnt redlining when throttle was stuck.
Engine is fine. Throttle was stuck due to the throttle tube being ground into the clip on. Only sat at like 9-10k for a few seconds.
Why the fuck did another rider stop on track? That's what the marshals are for
He is a control rider. (Those are the riders with the blue vest.)
He is a control rider. There was also only 6 bikes in A group that day.
@@PleatherJacket 6 bikes in a group, that's the fucking dream there
@@Dan-hm1dxyeah till you bin it in turn 3 first lap of the 2nd session lol
