As an aside hows the gear come through the bin,hope the insurance don't take the excess from the contents insurance,they do sometimes,bike excess and they hit you with the contents side for clothing etc.

yeah it is two claims, so two excesses, cos the gear is under contents and the bike is a separate policy, but the excess on the gear is only $100 and i got good deals when i got it so i should come out alright

-helmet is well scraped but i was very impressed with how it come through the bin....bloody good ad for Nolan
-jacket is pretty good, a few minor tears but sod all, held up extremely well
-one big hole in the knee of the pants, thats where the gi-normous graze on my knee came from....shows you the value of triple stitching versus double
-gloves were good too, considering they aren't armoured, one hole in the palm from hitting something pretty solid, that gave me two stitches, and a couple of tears on the other that gave me a scratch or two and some minor bruising/swelling
-boots are scraped but completely intact, bloody good ad for Forma

all in all, very impressed with the gear, but it will all need to be replaced except the boots

[ynot slow]

Sounds promising then,helmets,gloves all stood up well in circumstances,good cheap excess then.No need to tell them the price paid for,should be ok to replace if you get $$$ can look online for gear,plenty of good stuff in NZ.Mind you with a bike to buy if through a dealer all replacement gear might be a bit cheaper.

Some policies include bike gear,with the bike,but only upto a certain $$.

Just got my renewal and bike valueation dropped $750 so not bad,and premium dropped too,even highlighted the track day part,just tell us the days to be done or similar wording.

Main thing is the body feels like it has been in the ring with Tyson.Shoulder can be a bitch to heal.Good excuse to be waited on hand and foot hehe.

hahaha sorry mate... have some bigger purchase deals at the moment as you well know... Keep that on the down low for now...

Good to see Superman stepped off his bike easily and wasn't pounded into the embankment as a finale by his behemoth of a vindictive bike... never would have happened on your fine pedigree 400.

Surprising how slowly and gentle is all looked on film. Can imagine how violent it really was with my own history of SuperX Carnage, and thats on dirt! Glad your mostly intact, other than the cosmetic damage and the pain you'll be suffering everytime Mrs Yod forgets and hugs you.

Has the damage to the shoulder affected your ability to pwn noobs online though I wonder...

Watching you slide on your knees reminds me why I wear MX Armour under my riding pants. I mostly walked away from my t-boning into a car and flip over its roof thanks to all that gear. Armour on lower legs, knees, thighs, palm slider gloves, elbows, shoulders, back etc. Can never have enough. The Storm Trooper look is the new rage and it IS a warzone out there.

Seriously. We are both glad you're ok and were riding 1up.

Lis is getting a little freaked by the number of bins lately though. Her, you, Al and Sarah, the Firestorm on our Coro loop trip, Carmen and her Logging truck and my workmate (who owns 2 tricked up R1s and 2 bloody MV's, 1 with a red velvet seat!!) on the last CDMTC Trackday.

[slydesigns]

oh and we have a spare 400 if you need to get out on a ride.
