When he went to huck that triple would that be a "frame bounce" he tried at launch? He had to be thinking "That didn't feel right".

Any info on it? Is he OK? When he cased it on the landing w/o any seat ... I think all us guys cringed inside. He seemed to walk it off though. Tough kid.

He is probably hurting today. The mechanic might be looking for work.

He lost that shit in the first turn. How does a mechanic forget the seat bolts?

Hey, shite happens. Look at RV ... his rear fender and number plate fell off.

That poor Lites guy probably has a semi-permanent imprint of the frame rails on his cheeks.

I think it was the Japanese rider (don't recall his name), so I doubt his engrish is up to par for an interview. Plus he probably talks in slightly higher pitch now.

For those who keep saying that it must have hurt to case a triple without a seat and have metal go up your butt:

Talk about a bad time to case a triple-right after your fuckin seat falls off! What are the odds of that? You know you not having a good day at the races when......He got off lucky IMHO. That could have been a real mess.

I think the real question here is would he have cleared the triple if he had a seat? TFS? anyone?

No. But when I saw the bottle of vasoline in his hands and the smile on his face, I ran as fast as I could. But FlaNard can run faster than me, and he caught me and held me down while Outsider sodomized me. Sodomy changes things.

You guys might be on the wrong forum / site ... and seem to know way more than I care to hear about your fist activities.


Anyhoo .... they just showed it again. It was #793 Ikegaya. Seemed to be walking around OK afterwards. The next question would be who is his wrench? And is HE in the hospital? lol

No, He lost traction trying to stay to the inside and went sideways off the bump before the triple. Lost all his momentum and didn't have the speed to clear the triple with or without his seat. He knew he wasn't making it from the second he came off the face, pulling up into an air wheelie.

Uta Ikegaya...He is from Japan and so is his wrench. Maybe they should try google translate....
