Hi all,
Just a quick review on the performance of my gear in yesterdays big off (I was the plonker that stuffed it up the wall heading onto the front straight at Puke yesterday - 15-11-2008)
Gear:
KBC Helmet
Quasi 1-piece leathers
Quasi spine protector
Quasi gloves
Sidi boots
Result:
Bike = borked. No recovery. Engine and box might be useful, nothing else survived.
Me = sore knee and assorted other bruising, nothing serious.
Gear = Leathers have a few scrapes and a lot of blue paint (from the concrete wall). They will look a lot better when I clean the mud off them. Will use them again.
This was a pretty reasonable crash at high speed - entry speed to the front straight, no idea how fast (bike doesn't have a speedo) but >>>100km/h. Probably more like 130 - 140. The gear performed admirably and, other than the helmet, I will be using it all again.
Thanks Quasi for a quality, dependable product that does what it says on the box.
(And if anyone has a ZXR400 L model with a borked engine for sale let me know...)
