Highway Biker
Just about a year ago I took some "flying lessons" but my Spidi H2Out really saved my knee fom a real pasting. A mix of textile + leather on the tough bits.
If I hadn't been wearing that gear when I landed on my knee/hand/foot I would have been really hurt. I broke an ankle but could have wrecked my knee, which would have been far worse. Thank you Mr Spidi!

Turns out that tube was crimped when new tyre fitted a couple of months back....well at least I know why now....
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Now that you know what caused it......Originally Posted by Krusti
Have you since gone back to the shop that fitted the tyre and informed them?
If only, so that they are more careful, when fitting new tyres.....
Rest In Peace
Shit Krusti, I'm so sorry to hear about you two having had a spill...But very glad to know you'll hopefully feel better really soon.
Hugs to Leann and you from the 007s

Bugger - that sounds real scary!! Do you think the crimped tyre caused the accident ie your inability to recover the bike when the tyre was under duress? If this had happened in Aus, you'd be trotting off to court right about now to get all manner of damages and costs. . .
I'm so glad you two are relatively unscathed - at least I hope Meon3's elbow is nothing too lasting.
Take it easy!

Crimped tube caused tire to rapidly deflate! Problem was that the tyre went flat just as we began to veer back into our lane. Managed to right the bike but rim just rolled across tyre the other way.
Luckily I had given the guy on the trike instructions for emergency braking.!
Fortunate for us that it happened on a long straight.
Got a right bollocking from the nurse at A&E when we turned up in a car. Should have called Ambo she told us...

Get well as quickly as is convenient mate.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
