Re: Always wear yer ferkin leathers. Graffic images.
I couldnt agree more, I smashed my SV650 K5 into the side of an on-coming car when I ran wide going round a blind bend. Hit the car at 40mph, rolled off the back of it and landed in a ditch. I had my kit on, race leathers, boots, gloves etc and escaped with a badly broken hand and sweelings and bruising all down my right side. Wrote the bike off as it hit a lump of concrete and snapped the forks like matches. Smashed the front in pretty bad, the R&G crash protectors probably stopped my knee being wrecked but most importantly my leathers prevented me from breaking every bone on my right hand side....

second life used, crashed me old sv when some idiot stopped in the middle of the road without reason or warning. Outbraked myself and went down at 60mph!!! Cracked my crash helmet, tore my boots, gloves and jacket apart. Ended up with minor head injuries and cracked ribs. SOOO lucky!!
Always put ya kit, it will save your life. |

Crikey! I've just got a standard back protector in my jacket. Now seriously thinking of upgrading to a "proper" one! How do I know what size I need to get? (I'm female by the way!)
Cheers. Laura |

Comfort is a big issue. If it's not comfortable then you are less likely to wear it. Once you found one that fits, take a note and then go home and search the site for a cheaper one. |

Re: Always wear yer ferkin leathers. Graffic images.
Great thread, read a good 10-15 pages.
I've just bought an SV and have my test at the end of the month so biking is getting a bit more serious. I have an RST jacket and trousers but the zips are different lengths So can't zip them together which is abit worring I'll upgrade my gloves very soon and lid to a nice AVG one but i currently don't have a back portecor... |
