What happens when you break your frame on race weekend?

[Rick]

Well, you call nt650hawk, TOMATO, Dmitry, and stpierre of course!!

2 frames offered within minutes. Within 2 hours, Matt pulls up with a frame in his pimp van, and Gino rides up on his ST to perform surgery. WOW!!!!

T1, soft grass got a good grip on the rearsets and snapped the mounts, something I expect on Ducati but not on Hawk

They don't still have a Tig welder up there?

I've crashed there 1000 times. Usually a pretty good place to crash and not mess the bike up too bad.

If you ain't crashin' you ain't racin'.

Hope you’re okay. Plans to rebuild it?

Welp, that's a hit. Doesn't look unsalvageable but it looks like a lot of work.

It appears, from here, to be mostly cosmetic. Can you fire a new set of track fairings on it and still use it for track duty while you try and get the street sorts collected again ?


Listen, if you don't want to fix that I understand completely. Just pack it up and send it to me, I'll make sure I give it a good home

It'll be good - started stripping down for extensive rebuild and then it gets binned out for a V4s or an 1198.
That's what happens when a wide open throttle jams against a brake lever guard by shifting 2mm to the right. 130mph straight into a tyre wall. Just bruises & sprains. I'm luckier than Kylie, so there, ner.

Your bike took a pretty good hit but it's only a Ducati, so you're good.
