Hope your Ok..post the details when you can.
Hope the FZ is OK too.
Hope the FZ is OK too.
I'm OK, just bored in the ER. Where's Nelly when you need him. I post the detaols later.
not that i am one to speak since i don't have them either but it might be time for some sliders. is the guys insurance going to cover it? I am glad that you are ok. bike doesn't look too bad but those are some expensive bits that you rashed up.
personally i would not replace the gear with A*. If you were going 30 and scrubbed off some speed before the gear went to the ground then there is no way that it should be tearing apart already... Imagine how it would have been at 50 or even 80. I would write to A* and tell them how disappointed you are in how this "Protective" gear held up in a low speed zero impact (no collision, just a lowside correct) crash. Maybe they will buy it back for research.
Just my take on the equipment.
That doesn't look too comfy.. but it could have been worse.. back to Rob's question.. is this guy's insurance going to take care of the repairs? Did he stop?
You do have me thinking that I should try something else.
The pics are from my phone so I couldn't get the best quality.
Always nice to know your gear held up...I've got the same Alpinestar gloves you have, so for me it's good to know they didtn completely fall apart.
Rest up and hope you get your FZ fixed soon!
I don;t have that much experience with mesh jackets, so i am a bit out of the loop on those, but as far as gloves go i have seen Held's hold up real well and I do know that A* does make good stuff, but the ripping glove is my biggest concern.
