It's a race track....a closed circuit. When two bikes come together, nobody is LEGALLY "at fault" because there's no "road code". Trackday organisers' "no passing up inside" aren't law.. Different if they'd done it deliberately (assualt). Same as ANY OTHER SPORT. I don't claim damages when I get a rough tackle on the pitch or my shirt gets ripped. Can't see you having a shit show in hell of proving the other party were negligent either. Ever heard of an insurance company successfully claiming from a 3rd party at a trackday? Neither have I. Still...rather than relying on KB bush lawyers....why don't you visit a lawyer.
>1. I am aware that the sport of Motorcycling might:
>a. Cause me injury, serious or otherwise.
>b. Damage my property.
>2. I wish to take part in this training day despite the above risks.
Nuff said. You're not the first to be taken out at a trackday and you won't be the last. The other party made a mistake. I'm sure they feel bad about it. Whether they were showing off, went beyond their abilities or "took a wrong line" is irrelevant.
Yes, it's no unreasonable to expect to go to a trackday and not get taken out. But nothing is perfect.
Fucked if I'm going to get 3rd party insurance for trackdays or racing. And no, for fear of repercussions (like crazy bastards doing physical violence), then no, I wouldn't have given you my name either. You ride an expensive bike at the track, then get comprehensive insurance. You take your commuting bike to a trackday, then get comprehensive insurance. You value your income and do trackdays, then get medical and loss of earnings insurance. You get taken out by an idiot at the track? The best you should expect is help fixing up your bike and an apology. Get over it. Don't agree with the above, don't do trackdays. Simple eh?
What happens on the track, stays on the track.

no you presented your emotional sobby story, with plenty of insults to the other rider, including in the title of the thread.By the same logic applied to my personal skill judgement currently bequeathed upon me i have no idea how SKILLED you people are either. For all i know, not that im assuming this, you could all have only logged road time and have ridden slow and braked early and dont ride correctly. I dont assume this, in the OP i asked for opinions on the situation, not judgement of my skills which none of you have seen by the sounds of it.
and no we do not ride our bikes. We in fact drive to work in a vans and have our bikes inside the vans.
YES we can say the same. and we also know the risks and have track bikes.I dont claim to be a racer, but at least i was out there going fast, having fun and learning from professionals, can you all say the same or do you just ride to work and go for a spin on the weekend with your mates to buy a beer...
So in all your riding career no one told you bikes were dangerous ?Im no wordsmith, but i got out there on what was suposed to be a day where i didnt have to worry about others behind me, and look what happened.
your guess is as good as your storytellingI seriously doubt it, unless your the next rossi or stoner then i hazard a guess that half the judgements passed down here are from lesser skill people with fatter fingers who spend too much time on KB and not enough time out riding.
If you ask for peoples opinion as per the thread name ie: " What does KB think i should do to this prick?" , then expect to hear what people really think. none of that politically correct cotton wool you are surrounded in you everyday life. If you want to hear only positive opinions then you are living in dreamland.But in future i would suggest holding your judgement and assumptions till you know what your talking about, otherwise you just show your real personality.
Have a glass of cold water, heal up, take the insurance money, buy a track bike and go back to the stuff you like.
Pics make it look like you were staring at the camera man.
Just sayin is all...![]()

Time to ride
Spot on.
The way he is reacting to the comments which he asked foris making me start to think that he didn't really want anyone's real opinion at all, and that his posting was only because he really wanted everyone to make him feel better by saying what a bad bad man the other rider is and that his little bruised pee pee will be just as big (if not bigger) than it always was
.
I actually felt sorry for him at the start of the thread. Now I just think he is a whiny arse cry baby.
Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.
Well! there ya go, just as I suspected.
Sounds like he and his principles need to write out a cheque to pay for the repairs to the real victims bike so he can live with himself. After all he wouldn't want to be a low lif cunt who causes loss and suffering to an innocent biker.![]()

What a load of wank that responds to the weakest point you can find to disagree with.
So you'd be happy for me to nail your missus or your mate and her/his bike in the arse out of this world should they dare take a bike on your race track? Despite it being under the auspicious of your advice that track days are a good idea for everyone?
