Suomy helmets

I'm fine. Leathers are worth their weight in gold. I've got a bruised elbow from the impact...but thats it. Bike is fine...broken shift linkage and busted mirror. Other than that...not a scratch on it. Sliders did their job.

I heard rule of thumb is after any accident where your helmet impacts anything, or 3 years... can't remember where i heard that... think it was like Cycle world or some shit.

A momentary lapse in judgement. I got just a bit to daring and comfortable on a road I didn't know. I was less than a half hour from home. Came just a touch too hot into the corner and ran out of tire.

Nothing I can do about it at this point. I'm just glad the bike isn't all fucked up. Only scratch on it is on the primary from the shifter. I'm happy about that.

that's good...

Is that the first time youve ever been down? You were running the Diablo Corsa's ?
