Pic of the Day

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 :LOL: 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 !

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 :cool: Hopefully next time :unsure::ROFLMAO:

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...
