How the hell does that happen on a track? Might as well just run the streets in that case.

Dahlonega is a town, kind of a gateway to the No. Ga mountains. It's not a track although some hooligans treat the roads as if it were

i know you ran over some crud in the road, but what tires were you running? i've seen a preponderance of lowsides due to front tire wash-outs - maybe there is a correlation to the stock front tire.

when i feel the rubber on my stock front tire it feels less grippy (even when its hot) compared to the rear.

just my .02cents.

get well quickly..

Happened to a friend once. She didn't go down, but rode through 5 gallons of WET white paint. On a borrowed bike, no less.......

I was running a PP2Ct, it was a super easy corner and the tire itself was not the problem. We were really moving for 3 hours in the morning with no problems and those roads are some of the best in the world. Then I rode 3 hours back to our campground after the crash. I rested the next day, but Saturday I was riding pretty hard for a couple of hours. It wasn't the tire.

There are numerous variables but here's two that are very important. What temp was it, what pressure was your tyre.
