[QUOTE="Xx_Black-out, post: 14184622, member: 97243"] Got some Road Atlanta action this weekend! [ATTACH=full]1422404[/ATTACH] [img]http://skipbarber.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ratl02.jpg[/img] The track was awesome! The back stretch was long enough that streetbikes were passing me and I had to catch them in the curves. After turn 10B the track goes uphill, under a bridge and back downhill...I was carrying the front tire in the air down that hill at 100mph which was pretty badass lol The Hypermotard SP will do 140mph in 5th gear but I ran out of track and didn't get to push it into 6th. 140mph on the Hyper feels like fukkin warp speed from Star Trek :D On the second session of the day I came into Turn 6 a little hot and was on the front brakes too far into Turn 7, so when I let off the brake and eased on the throttle, the front suspension unloaded too much, too quick and I tucked the front tire...so the HyperSP has officially been low sided around 80mph. I slid from the apex all the way through the grass but surprisingly the fairings didn't even get scratched! Damage report: -Right peg gone -Rear brake lever gone -Right "hand guard" gone -Exhaust heat shield scratched The bike never cut off, so I rode it back to the paddock and took the passenger peg off and moved it up front. Then I drilled and tapped the brake lever for a makeshift brake. I went out and rode the next session, no issues the rest of the day!
