Broken Subframe

I broke my subframe at a race recently. Here is a picture before I got it repaired. :ride:

How did that happen?

Did you replace the complete subframe or have it welded?

I crashed on the landing of a triple.. Then before I could get up I got landed on.

Thankfully it was a quick and cheap fix.. I got it welded for only $15.

Kind of looks like it had been welded there before. Eventually the stress cracks will get everywhere and then it will be time to replace it. For now I think you good to go. :ride:

Ouch, the only damage was to the bike?

Was this at a track in MI?

It actually had been welded there about 2 years ago when I broke it the first time. :smirk:

Ouch, is it bad? Broken? Done for the year?

*knock-on-wood* I've never injured my back from riding, I'd imagine that that's about the worst thing you can do.

Yeah it was pretty bad.. I couldn't even lift my bike on the stand the first couple weeks. But it has been getting better the last week so I hope to be back riding again soon.
