G'day
1. Low side a couple of years ago with the p in a m onboard at approaching 80kliks say, both wearing draggin jeans, dririder jackets, gloves, helmets, me wearing boots, she wearing lace up boots. Minor scuffs to jeans and jackets, helmets unmarked...but her bootlaces hooked on pillion pegs so if the bike had jumped, she would have had a serious type fracture I am sure. So no more lace up shoes or boots. Cuts to her knee, bruising to mine.
2. Feb this year on way to work, sheila driving car Tboned me from left. I was doing no more than 20 kliks, no idea how fast she was going. Saw bonnet from corner of my eye, woke up talking to the ambos. Spent the morning in Blacktown Hospital. Severely strained groin and lower abdomen muscles (still sore), torn tendon in left shoulder...going for operation arthroscopy end of August. Gear? Jeans, Tiger Angel leather jacket, boots, gloves all unmarked (I was dumped on shoulder and head, no sliding apparently). Helmet has small cracks and is now in landfill.
So the gear has worked and I won't ride without it...
Regards
Kevin
