Oops! Had a prang! Thank you good gear.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Sorry about the loss of your sister. That sucks. As above you are still with us. A good thing.

I crashed the Gixxer on the Taupo track on Friday. Nice slid and wore the leather pants out. Two small holes where the leather folded and took the brunt of the weight. The only pain was from the plastic zip that melted in the leg of the pants and let a small part of the leg get burns from the track.

Good gear is the only way to go. Keep saying it and others will get it in time.

Take care and heal well.

Sorry to hear all that mate What a bummer of a week alright!

Oh, well, you can join me with the broken ankle club and bikeless for a while while summer continues to roll on by IF you can call it summer yet.

Yep, good gear is awesome. I'm going to get some real good boots. My Forma touring boots were real good but can't help thinking that if I'd had a solid plastic ankle etc, I probably wouldn't have broken my ankle. Tough call really, but good boots are better than no boots.


Take care mate. Hope it all pans out for you.

Dude. Add my condolences to the list. We all gotta go some time but it sucks extra more when it's someone young. Hopefully you have some awesome memories. Heal well.

All Of The Gear All Of The Time = AOTGAOTT = Likely to live.
Good on you for wearing your gear, it can be a little heart breaking looking at the tally for replacing the gear but it will help if you think of it as money well spent.

Condolences and heal well!
