Theres usually a bit of gravel very close to the divider and so the front wheel locked and I crashed on the divider.

The bike is damamged quite badly. I think the rear tyre of the truck went over the rear wheel of my bike. The bike needs new rear drum, rear rim/spokes, handlebar, rear fender, chain cover and maybe some more when the mech checks it. Will post pics soon.

ooh goosh, its nice to see you telling us this tale, Gear is very important otherwise u wont live to tell the tale..

thanks brother, no riding style and all. its just that thing in you which makes you go faster. Trust me all people here with superbikes must hit the track atleast once. you will fall in love with the riding you do there,because you will know how a good superbike handles then you get all the stuff and its very costly thats the only reason i think not too much people accumalate in the sport, For Example the tyres which we use are Pirelli Diablo SuperCorsa and these cost a bomb 25000 per race and its for only 1 race. you use more of the tyre saying no money for tyres , we will surely be off the bike. lets hope the best comes for people with superbikes and make sure you people ride on the track atleast once.......

Awesome stuff Prakash. You've become super quick on the track man. Don't need these terrific photos to prove it

all your blessings brother, been improving from the lessons provided by you.
i think you also should ride the whole season next year, it really is a lot of fun that streets, competing is something different than a track day.
