Wow !!

Did anyone behind U got any of it? I've heard of a track letting go completely and almost taking the rider behind out, Somewhere on the forums a 600 sxr had that happen and left a tail, Ruined tail light and FFed tunnel some, Man U guys are hard on stuff, I wish I could even ride, Hope repairs are minimal, We play and we pay.
 
I had about 3 feet come off and only had 12" of it attatched yet. some somewhere in michigan is 24" of track in the woods. my buddy behind me didnt see any nor did i see any when were turned around and limped back to the motel..
 
My whole track blew on my SXR700 last year after the last ride of the season while on the track stand (blowing the ice out of it). Shot the track stand over 200 ft. in the air (over top of my cars) and into the bush.

If I had been standing behind it ....

What does the track have to do with the crank? Does the track get messed up when this happens?

no the guy that was posting pics of his track, that was his "great" luck.... my story is my crankshaft, his story is his track blew....

lets hear some more "GREAT" luck stories
 
All within a span of one week in January my Vmax 500 had its motor seize. My SRX blew the track off going about 90, and my Vmax 4 started running in reverse for no apparent reason. I'm thinking something electrical, but I've yet to look into it. At least the other two are fixed....just in time for 60 degree weather. :o|
 
This season (a whole 350km) I bent a ski, trailing arm, running board, and today I added a set of handlebars and the circlip on the rear idler wheel. I could have prevented all of this except for the idler wheel. The ski, trailing arm and running board was because a lack of snow, and the bars because the snow was plowed up and hard, casued the machine to tip over and land on the bars. Oh well, I had little riding in but it was all good fun riding, drifts, drops, jumps, water, hill climbs, all except powder riding, never got any powder this year.
 
Geez! Don't get me started... Well, let's see... I hit a stump after going over a beaver dam and bent the right trailing arm. The next day after riding 180 miles, I broke the rear shock mounting bracket, and had trouble with my clutch on that ride too. So I brought it home, pulled the skid out replaced the broken parts, realigned the front end so I could still ride with the bent trailing arm. Then pulled the primary clutch, found it had a cracked moveable sheave, and discovered that behind that I had a bad bearing. I got a used clutch and trailing arm from a couple guys on here, and ordered a new bearing. The crank seals I ordered were on back order, I just got them 2 days ago. Oh yea, I replaced the trailing arm yesterday and found out that the spindle is bent also.
