Good to hear your ok Paul. How is you bike? It looked like it came out ok.
Has anyone talked to twotyres? Just wondering how he is doing.

lee apparently has a broken wrist and a couple of fractures in his ankle. justin spoke to him yesterday.
hope he's doing OK..... sux that we had 2 guys get hurt.
especially since at least Paul's accident was easily preventable.

There is a thread on the NESBA forum about the crash. The rider who made the bad pass has an apology at about page 9 or 10. Along with his side of the story. Is it true that Gixxer brakes have fade issues that bad?? A couple of hard brake applications and they are prone severe fading  If thats true why hasn't Suzuki addressed it.

I've never had the same bike as the idiot that nailed Paul but I do happen to own a GSXR.
I'm fairly sure that everything with a Nissen master sucks. At least that's my 0.02.
I have a Brembo RCS master on mine cause I hate the feel of the GSXR system. I had a full k7 GSXR 600/750 front end, including brakes and master on my SV. But it's mostly feel and not absolute fade that bothered me about it. I never had a huge issue with fade. It had a bit but nothing that would have even remotely prevented me from slowing down in T3 at Summit.
That said, you can literally see the asswipe accelerate into the apex when he thought he saw an opening.
Soft brakes are one thing but that certainly was not it. If his brakes were that shot how the fuck did he slow down into T1? I'm guessing he was cooking down that big straight on his 1k and you have to shed a whole hell of a lot more speed going into T1 than into T3.
I commend the guy for having the balls to post up an apology. I just don't buy the story on the brakes. He should have not tried to make any excuses, especailly since it was already documented that he had been pulling that same shit all day - or were his brakes consistently failing every lap? A simple "I fucked up, I'm sorry" would have gone over a lot better.

If he knew they were fading before (since he posted up about the issue before) why would you fix the problem before hand?
