    Recommended Crashing Gear

    Clover T2 Jacket - Brand New, first ride. Not a mark.

    Draggin Jeans - ripped around shin area because of getting hung up on something on the bike. No other mark. Will probably get the shin repaired.

    Minotaur gloves - Left heel of hand a little marked from the sharp, coarse chip. Not significant. Hand trapped under bar end. Fingers fine. Thanks TonyB

    Oxtar TCS Waterproof Boots - Toe Slider scuffed. But that's a good thing.

    Landed on left side, elbow, hip, and left hand (under bar end - bar end still scuffed though.), no damage to the gear at the impact points

    Helmet didn't touch down.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Bugger! Sorry to hear you've tested your gear! Hope your bods alright.
    Bikes can be fixed.

    Bummer. Lowside? Quite slow? Found us a nice patch of greasy shit somewhere near Wellington?

    Good the gear did it's job without getting too banged up itself. Maybe a good time to press for that other safer bike...

    Good to hear the gear held up well Jim, hope you did also, watch out for that loose chip stuff man it is deadly.

    That was at low speed. Can we get an update on how the gear performs at higher speeds please?




    (Glad everything worked Jim2!)
