So it looks like I am going to be out for a bit. I hit gravel and was sliding all over. I was good till I went in the grass a hit a hole and highsided. I landed on my head and shoulder, Bike hit me in the back pushed me further and head hit a fence post. Bike looks ok for the most part from what I could tell it is the whole front faring and handlebar. I rode it home. Whole body aches right now.
The curve is a 45mph and I was doing 37. So even at 37 a high side will really f**k up your day. I am so glad I was wearing all my gear. This the only mark on me was when my shoulder and helmet hit, the helmet went in my shoulder.
Could have been way worse than it was. Buddy I was riding with has a splint on his leg and had to have gravel picked out. He lowsided and only had a long sleeve sweatshirt on and some vans. tore the shoes all up.
I had a Armored jacket, Scorpion Gloves, Sedici Helmet, Sedici leathers, and tourmaster full leather and reinforced boots. Got scuffs on all the gear and I will have to replace the helmet. there is a spot where it hit the fence post.
So even though it may be hot, wear your gear! It will save you!
