My friend Tim just picked up his new still-in-the-crate 2006 ST1300 and he was ready to stretch its legs. A mutual friend of ours was attending a trackday sponsored by the US Desmo club at Carolina Motorsports Park, so we decided to ride down there and spectate.

Right after we arrived, a 17 year old rider (Nick) had a high side coming out of turn 1, and wasn’t moving after sliding down the track with his bike. The medical guys were there very quickly, and the chopper was there in no time. I later found out from Nick’s dad that he suffered a concussion, but is expected to make a full recovery.

A BMW LT was even in attendance.

Some still shots.

And some action shots.

The rest of the pictures can be found on the ConqSoft.com Picasa Web Galleries.
