. Shoei RF 1000 w/D-rings-this was the good side. Blood on rubber ring from chin strap. I won't say the name of the insurance company but they have a lizard for a mascot, gave me $400 for a replacement helmet. Still deciding what to replace it with....have another few weeks and the bike will be ready for the tarmac again. I can't 'strip' the info from the report as I know many will doubt the distance but who cares, I lived through it. I know it to be true. Here is a pic of the gauges showing we were upside down for part of it!Attachments

I would imagine there is an element of fate involved when you slide more than 200 feet. That's a very extraordinary accident to survive and probably put you well outside the realm of what you can reasonably expect from any of the standard protective gear out there. It just wasn't time for your number to be up yet...
How about the rest of you? Got any skin left? Leather? Kevlar? Body armor?
About 30 years into riding I met the Road Rash Queen on the motorcycle show talk circuit and was so disturbed by what I heard and saw that I bought my first pair of Kevlar jeans and stopped riding in just a t-shirt like I had done my whole life. Since then I've meet two or three people who claim to owe their skin specifically to their Draggin' Jeans. Not something I ever want to test on myself.
