Guess you have to try it to get a proper feel for the freedom it gives?

Anybody else had the following:

Bike decides it doesn't like my ar$e on its seat but chooses to make the decision coming out of a really fast corner. Doesn't bother to give me any warning so next thing is earth, sky, earth, sky, ouch, ouch, OUCH!! Body stops rolling down the track/road/hedge/ditch (delete as appropriate) and the next phase is to assess the damage.

Tentatively move each limb one at a time hoping the movement will be in the directions as originally designed. On a good day its now time to see if standing back up is an option. If that works and the limb movements aren't too bad its a bit of a result innit?

Next take a look at the riding gear. Arai has saved Mr. Bonce from a good old grinding on the road and Mr. Dainese has to be congratulated for his input to the reduction of soft tissue loss.

Shorts, tee shirt and flip flops....yeah right....you've got enough going against you wearing proper gear so afraid I'll be leaving that clothing option to the "braver" individuals out there
