Got a little bite on the dragon while playing way too hard. Lowsided my bike in a tight left corner going about 60 with my foot caught under it for about half of the slide.
Frank Thomas 2 piece Strike 2 suit: This bad boy held up great. There are slight scuffs and some dye missing on the lower back or the jacket and butt of the pants. Other than that, it did a great job protecting me. I still wear them today. People talk a lot of trash about these leathers, but they came through for me when I needed them to.
Joe Rocket Speedmaster BP: Didn't hit my back to hard, but the slight hit I did take didn't do any damage at all. I'll give the BP credit for this. I still use it, but wonder whether I should replace it because maybe it's a one use item.
Frank Thomas Kanga gloves: They did some dragging, but not much. I still use them today and can't tell that they've ever been down.
Sidi Boots (don't remember model name): I am amazed that I have a foot that still works. It was caught under a heavy machine sliding at 60 mph down the pavement and I got up with out a problem. You won't see me riding without proper boots ever again. I would buy them again, but got a better deal on a pair of Oxtars, so I've switched.
