You definitely hit the ejector button brother. Glad you're good, it looked nasty!

Ok, now its clear what happened, the rear end was trying to come around and I had no engine braking with the rear wheel in the air, I almost had it then RAB came through. I braked hard again to avoid him and had no steering with the rear wheel up in the air and that was sending me straight to Paul's rear wheel. And as Kasey said I hit the eject button to avoid T-boning Paul.
In hindsight, I should have fallen in line behind Jeff and joined the conga line through the turn. I remember seeing Jeff wheelie several times and I wanted to get by him and the rest is history. Or I could have braked much earlier and made the turn.
Mike, no worries, I had so many riders come to help me out and check on me. As everyone knows, the CMRA is a special place with a great group of people. I am still not clear if my wreck caused anyone else to wreck or if they were from the Expert wreck.

you were on your own in that wreck yorke. everyone got around you, some people had to take a trip into the rough but no one else went down because of you.
Looked like you were getting it under control Yorke, until the very end when you saw Paul.

Yes. I'd call it near-real-time broadcast. There is about a 30sec lag via browser. My family and various motorcycle buddies were following remotely. LiveStream only archives for 30 days on a free account. Beyond that you can upgrade your account for more features. This was my first time experimenting with it. The video quality isn't great, but it was pretty cool. I just had to keep my focus on the track instead of thinking..."oh, wonder if my viewers liked that"
Ya I know, I am not too upset about it or down on myself. I am really thankful I didn't take anyone else out and ruin their day because I couldn't get my bike slowed down. Just another lesson learned that I can apply later on. I am not giving up, but TWS is going to be a long shot, but who knows, just give it some time and see how I feel about it.
