Went down hard!!!
« on: August 15, 2011, 08:57:01 PM »
Well guys after obtaining my license 2 months ago I got into an accident last week. Someone cut me off on the highway. I'm alive by the grace of God and my helmet. Broken pinky back and neck injury and road rash. I am fine other then in pain just glad I made it through.

AGV K3 Gothic, how did it fit? AGV's usually fold ears.
Sorry about your crash bro, and yeah, what were you wearing for gear besides a helmet?

That was my shoulder arms. My legs were too. I'm just glad that I'm still breathing. Tumbling down a road at 50-55mph and landing 100ft. from the initial impact well let's just say that I was blessed that day.

glad you got out of that one alive, it could've been way worse. ;D
and next time you ride, remember that this is the exact reason we sweat our arses off in leathers in summer.

My friend and riding buddy for the last 20 years always says, dress for the crash not for the ride.

I dont always dress for it, most days I leave the house in a helmet only and I cringe at this topic.
I have full gear just cant stand the Heat. and I have really big hands and cant find gloves I am confortable in.

Then you need some different (or more) gear that's designed for teh heat...
For Gloves - Check out HELD gloves http://www.heldusa.com/gloves.html  they have somethign like 10+ different sizes, but they're not cheap.
