My Mate Had A Whoopsie

[dandoolittle]

This was a Suzuki GSXR k5 1000 a few hours ago!

Watched his rear tyre simply come off the rim, bike somersaulted maybe 10feet and Bounced around a bit and resulted in this.

Thankfully it's repairable, The downside to track riding ha, when it goes tits up, it goes tits up

Both repairable lol

new tyre and new underwear?

I think it's repairable, but I'd check over the frame first.. then the question comes is it worth the bill? Insurance should payout for it, then perhaps buy it off them for £100-250.

Ouch.. Get well soon to both rider and bike..

Not before being a fast rider.... Fast bikes tend to be slow on tracks
