whoa well first time I have come across this thread...glad to see you're ok and alive from your lucky escape a few years back big ape...

probably after getting minced by other vehicles when coming off, going flying into a barrier at 80mph is one of the most life threatening things to happen when coming off a bike...so kudos on wearing your full gear and hopefully others will find this thread and go out and buy things they think they never would have needed...

incidentally, over a month ago, I went out to buy a forcefield pro back protector from a shop in east london. On my ride back home, I had my first off and landed flat on my back on the road at 30mph...not much compared to big apes off, but just trying to drive the point home that when having an off, you wanna make sure you have as much of your body protected as possible...

...and seeing as you don't know when you might have an off = wearing maximal protection ALL the time when riding!..
