Yep, I got the wind knocked the crap out of me. I believe the sign that I broke with my body slowed my fall a bit, otherwise I'd be rolling more on the pavement.
I think I was going around 60ish, can't remember as I was looking through the turn. Maintaining speed then accelerating a little...
This. Common misconception is they protect all. They protect the Frame and are suppose to slide the bike while grinding down the delrin plastic.
When a bike goes down, usually the engine/stator case covers get rashed or torn off. Thats why a lot of racers replace or reinforce them with...
Thanks, I know I'm lucky. A lot of people told me and my friend thought I was dead. I'm no longer going to wear tennis shoes (my boots were on the way here). I was amazed as well but I guess the sliders were doing their job. (Frame sliders + Clutch sliders).
It's a pretty popular road, home...
I high sided going through a turn this morning. The rear gave out hit a patch of sand.
The bike started wobbling, threw me off. I hit the wooden sign with my body and then started tumbling from the road to the driveway while my bike was flipping as well.
As I was tumbling I had my arms out...
Should have an approved DoT (Department of transportation) sticker on the back of it. It's actually a law to have it visible as well.
Snell sticker is harder testing on the helmet and would be great if you get it as well.
Helmet design looks about the same. 09 and 10's. with the vents and shell.

I put mine in my trunk. Sometimes it goes off, sometimes it doesn't.
If it doesn't then the camera takes a picture of my plate and charges it to my account.
I got pulled over because the light didn't turn red and I told the cop the problem. He asked if I had my Epass on me and I showed it...
Yeah I saw that deal. REALLY nice especially since I'm looking into getting a 1pc. But I don't have the money this black friday... maybe more towards christmas.
The 03 - 05 and the R6s doesn't have a cat.
The R6R (06+) people are also fighting you guys for the 05 headers since we have cats on ours.
And OP Yes you can but you need to find a way to mount the exhaust to your bike or it'll go flying off.
Great review Jon Kerr. Pretty much what I thought as well with Bell selling cheap Wal-Mart helmets. But now they've stepped up their game, I'm looking at the Bell Star series as well.
I believe Bell has rivaled the popular Shoei RF series as well just not as well known.
I can't remember...
