My Helimot suit held up just fine, but my Sidi Vertigo Corsas weren't enough to prevent a reasonably severe ankle injury (I believe the bike slammed down on the boot).

Yeah, I think my magic suit makes me invulnerable or something. I once crashed up at Deals Gap (Tail of the Dragon) when it was raining, doing maybe 80MPH around a turn I low-sided... I was sliding and watching my bike spinning down the road, as a SUV comes around the turn strait for me!!! I throw all my body weight to my right in an attempt to miss the back tire and next thing I knew I was tumbling in the dirt on the side of the road, guess I missed him
He stopped and got out of his car, white as a ghost.. I think he was surprised that I had a smile on my face.
I could prolly consider myself a professional crasher, I am 100% clear headed now when I crash, hence why I was able to un-crash myself the other day. Who says crashing doesnt pay off?
