That's just mean...sorry I couldn't resist.

Really sorry for the stuck throttle issue...be glad it didn't happen going in to T1 or Canada corner @ RA.

Still sucks though when your ride is F'd up.

I was doing about 100 mph and launched off a barm it was highly unpleasant
I flew for about 30 feet
I got extremely lucky

Video of that would have gone viral, glad you are ok & sorry for the repairs.

What am I supposed to do with electronic throttle (04 z06)?
