SuperStock A Crash (Yorke)<----Idiot

[Kasey Lewis]

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

[Yorke Oldfather]

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.

[Michael McGehee]

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.

[Tommy Hendricks]

Looked like you were getting it under control Yorke, until the very end when you saw Paul.

Thanks Jordan, I probably just need to stick with what I am good at, which is endurance racing. I love toughing it out and seeing how long I can go before coming in. We finished 2nd in ESSE on Saturday, so the weekend wasn't a bust. Bike faired pretty good, broke peg, bent lever, bent bar and the lever protector is toast. The body worked came out great, no tank dent. Helmet did it's job, I didn't have a headache or anything, no bruising from the padding. I am really surprised how well it worked, considering how damaged it is.

I think all the cartilage between where the clavicle attaches is inflamed, other than that a little bruise on back and an outline of my back protector. If I been wearing an air vest, I probably could have walked away without any injury at all. It's only the 2nd time I have wrecked in 2 1/2 years, I got off really easy considering the bike landed on top of me.

It happens, hopefully you can get her put back together for TWS! I bet you are real sore today haha.

Can't see it w/o a livestream account. Is it posted up anywhere else?

It's free to sign up for a Livestream account. I don't have them posted anywhere else currently.

I was able to view all his vids without an account.

Ron, am I to understand this allows you to stream near-live video and records it at the same time?

Ron, am I to understand this allows you to stream near-live video and records it at the same time?

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.
