Ultralightweight Superbike on a 2001 SV650. PittRace. First corner, first lap, very wet. My biggest fear out there is running over another rider. A better rider maybe could have avoided this outcome. I couldn't tell which way the downed rider was going. I kept adding brake as I was catching him. Eventually it sent me over the bars and the bike doing a very picturesque 360 in the air. What you can't see in the video is that it lands on my head which is why it kicks out to the right side of the track on landing. I remember knocking my head on the ground, looking up, and seeing the #109 plate coming right at me. I had enough time to process the thought that "This is where I get seriously injured". But I didn't. Just a messed up right hand and a messed up bike.
I'm lucky as hell to be able to walk away from this one. Not how I wanted the year to start--especially after putting in what was a really confidence inspiring performance in the GTL race earlier in the day.
