    Yeah bro

    I am pretty sure he's getting a new helmet in the UK he's there now

    It wont be that noticeable, i mean he's normally 5 or more km ahead and he's got the alpinestars jacket and i got the quasi gear

    Glad to hear you're OK. I just got some Quasi SPS gloves too so nice to hear they worked well and let you slide with some semblance of control.

    Yeah man those gloves are awesome check out the sliders in this pic

    When people put their hands down in a bin they normally go palm flat and slap the road, hurting or breaking their wrist, these let your hands slide with the rest of you. Remember its not the fall but the stop that hurts, same goes for different speeds of seperate body parts!

    could have been ALOT worse! So I am takin the positives from it.

    Although my imagnination has reminded me a few times how badly it could have gone. There was a bit of oncoming traffic and they weren't slowed to 50, they were probly doing 80+

    Just happy i got out alright and stoaked i got a new bike

    Nice story, congrats on your new bike. Good on you for being so honest about exactly what happened. Hopefully you and others will learn from your experience and keep safe following distances.
    Ride fast or be last.
