    Always a good idea to wear your gear. Also; katman bait.

    good on you. What do you think you will replace your gear with - Qmoto or 1tonne ?

    Or Mohsin? But that can't be any good because it doesn't come from organic cows and isn't stitched 15 times with hogwart thread. The protectors arn't blessed by the pope either so I think the OP is lieing. From other threads I've read Mohsin gear will actively shorten your life crash or not



    Oh sorry forgot to wish you the best and glad you're ok. after all that's the main thing

    haha what a way to start another gear thread..........Sorry Quasi, your jacket was sitting in the wadrobe still brand new so couldn't put it to the test

    my hand is a bitch this morning..it looks like it belongs to the elephant man. Bike will be at he shop this morning for assessment. Too much damaged CF to warrant repair me thinks without all the other parts required.

    Sorry to hear about your bin man. Grit or ice?
    Check out that hand too, sometimes the swelling can be hiding damage below.

    Yeah, hand like that I'd suspect ligament damage, possible dislocation and/or fracture. Get it X-rayed. Hands are useful things.

    3 hours in the hospital and after xrays they say no damage.

    No grit or ice just rider error. Locked up the rear changing down and it turned to toast from there

    fairly new bike to me ...not much riding in this year ...didn't expect the rear to lock up though. A valuable lesson learned.
