Pic of the Day

[JohnJohn]

Without de-railing the pic thread too much Yesterdays crash test dummy test setup was Smith Mainline (helmet) Very comfortable in a crash and for snoozing in, when I finally came round I actually thought I was in my bed It's so unobtrusive, I didn't even question why I was sleeping with a full face on - then again, the Mrs can be grumpy, so maybe my subconscious pieced that one together.

Troy lee 7855 body armour. There is a thread on this somewhere with lots of comparisons. Really impressed I don't have broken ribs from the stumps. It's lighter and more comfortable than my Fox Titan, but doesn't have the solid plate armour - would still seem to perform very well. Shoulder is a mess, but I think that was twisted/pulled. Had a very fast OTB off a tree a couple of days ago and didn't have a mark on me.

Sam Hill knee pads. My knees must have taken a few hard hits I'm guessing. I wasn't very aware of them at the time. Football shinpads with ankle protection. No name Mix of hard plate/padded armoured shorts - black things off e-bay that match the fox titan armour.

Fox d3o gloves - Impressed with how these have worn, but not impressed with the d30, it had already de-composed when new and didn't react, it's since set like concrete. I guess I can't complain at the finger tearing off, that is the first time they've torn and they've probably done a lot of friction miles on the ground Ignoring the broken finger my hands aren't actually marked.

The bike once again proves that the Kenevo classic was designed for Muppets and is pretty much indestructible ! Handlebars needed straightening and it needs re-indexing, but all seems intact !

I'd like to tell you to be careful but you won't ! Get well soon !

Splat of the day ....

That's with shin guards, knee pads, armoured shorts, body armour and full face .. dread to think what I'd be like unarmoured.

What a nice crash....and good you're ok-ish.

You have all the good gear.....but still missing the most important one: a turned-on camera !
I would love to see that crash

Thanks A. I've been messing with cameras recently, but sadly yes, didn't have one on. I said at the time to the friend who came back up and found me that it would have been a really cool video Hopefully next time

A camera on a bike or on you would show a tumble-dryer motion.

A drone following you from a safe distance would be uber!

Compound fracture of the right elbow, fractured left elbow and fractured both wrists. Hematoma on thigh and bruised ribs. 2/19/20 wiped out doing about 30 around a corner on my Powerfly 5 HT. Currently in the shop hopefully with a new motor under warranty.



The bone came out where the stitches are (not staples) it smarted a bit...

 

[Hobo Mikey]

OUCH.

And Zimmer would probably be safer sitting on the drone.

On Zimmer this will not work....a zipper/velcro will be smarter to provide easy-access next time

Innerleithen last week. Never ridden the red before. It was a long climb up but the view at the top was great and the descent was brilliant.
