Gear that saved my arse...

[skippa1]

Still insisting on twisting my words, huh?
I came in here to second the wearing of good gear, not to comment on why the rider had an off. I wasn't there, so how would I know whether he could have avoided the off or not. He said some others also lost it there, and some didn't. Make of that what you will.

I'm just guessing, but you are probably being judged by your overall attitude in other posts on other threads....

Well done Skippa, glad you're ok, thanks for sharing the value of gear for noobs without scaring them with fanatcism, glad you had good gear, and i hope there was something you can learn from it.

+1 it is a good thing to share, one up for Triumph quality, hope you are mending well Skippa, shame about the bike

another bun fight

Mstrs... I think your demise in this thread began here.

As for the other part of the equation...that can only be a hiding to nothing. Perhaps you will listen to this guy.

As long as you keep trying to justify or explain your crash on the basis of "relatively new seal", you're always going to get a bite from the biters.

When you accept that you're 100% responsible for your own accident, you might get the support you seek. The road did not cause your accident - you did.

I hear through out the thread that you (Mstrs) are supportive of the OP use of good gear, but your apparent/implied support of KM and this Virago chap hasnt helped you.

All the majority of us in here are saying is that the thread should have been left as an informative thread/discussion as was intended... without the undue hijacking of it by KM and his ilk with their self righteous blatherings. The OP wasnt seeking sympathy, advice or criticism... he was merely informing. It has now become 7 pages of shit fighting.

Amen to all that

And 7 pages of shit fighting could have been avoided if the OP's response to post #3 was "Yeah, that too".

I mean, who in their right mind would take umbrage at the idea of riding within your capabilites?
