My racer buddy had to bail off his '75 Z1 superbike at a WERA event at Barber recently. He was mostly uninjured, thanks to his gear, especially the airvest. Luckily, the bike dug into the turf and sustained mostly cosmetic damage, other than bent fork tubes. When your throttle sticks open at 140 mph, you have to make a pretty quick decision. The track steward told him, "Wait until you get the bill from Mr. Barber's landscapers."
