I tested your sliders. The slider did its job despite speed. With out the slider it would have been a total loss.

What's the fastest you've ever gone in a car? Ever jump out?

First of all I am all right, only a minor ankle twist and sprained wrist. I have had my Triumph Sprint RS for little over two years now and have put 23,000 crash free miles on it, not counting a parking lot drop. Anyway I take it to the track quite a bit. I usually go to Second Creek which is north east of Denver CO, out by the airport. Several of us from the mountain forum frequent this track.
 

This is a aerial photo of Second Creek and we were running it clock wise. I was on my fourth lap coming down the main strait. On the previous laps I was getting on the front binders right about point 1 and am just about topped out in 3 gear which is 110mph. This time around when I touched the front brakes my front wheel locked and I hit the deck on my right side all in the same instant. Then it was ground sky ground sky, when I finally stopped and jumped up I think I was at point 2. The bike was at 3 with its throttle pinned. Spectators came over made sure I was OK, hit the kill switch on my bike, picked up the pieces and walked it off the track. Like I said before my only injuries were a twisted ankle and sprained wrist but I didn't realize this until I was walking around the pits looking over my damaged bike.

I think the bike faired well for as fast as it was going when it hit the pavement. The front fairing is in many pieces, some how the headlight survived (and no you are not required to tape up the lights at this track, I do unplug mine though). The frame slider and Two Brothers pipe took the brunt of the damage and saved the tank and rear plastic. When the bike hit the edge of the track it did flip onto the other side, so the left side has some minor scraping. The left side clip-on is bent and explains why the throttle was stuck pinned. All of the foot pegs are broken including passenger. The brake lever and reservoir are broken and amazingly only one blinker. The rear brake lever, shift lever and shift linkage are bent. I think that's it but I have not inspected the front brakes for mechanical problems yet. More likely I panicked and grabbed the front brake too hard even though I only remember just touching it. It all happened incredibly fast.
 

Here is my new helmet, and when I say new I mean hours. I have had a Nolan helmet for a the last few years and it has been a great for all the sport touring I have done, but not ideal for playing at the track. Well I decided to stop by the local bike shop, The Parts Place and pick up quality helmet. They just started carrying Suomy at internet competitive prices and since I just got a new job I figured it would be a wise investment. The investment lasted eight minutes on my head be for I drilled it into the ground at over 100mph.
 

The jacket is a Hein Gericke Arizona. The pants are Teknic with hip armor and hard GP style knee armor. I was also wearing a Joe Rocket back protector, Spidi armored gloves and Prexport boots. I think the jacket and gloves are done, the leather left on the shoulder and back of the jacket are quite thin now, not to mention the hole.
