As some of you will have seen I had a silly accident a few weeks back which resulted in surgery and put my right arm and leg out of commission 🙂

I’m now at the stage where it’s time to face the fear and get back on the bike so I’m reviewing my PPE to see if I should change anything to help limit any repeat 🙂 And yes top of that list is not to have another brain fart.

My current gear:
Richa Gloves, RST ventilator jacket and trousers, Shoei GT Air, M-Star GTX boots https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/mot…ent_prod/98183 (As Im a short arse on a 700GS and need all the help I can get 🙂

So that gives me protections on knuckle, calf, ankle, knee. elbow, shoulder, back, head. And yet from a minor incident I still ended up with a tibia having to be reattached to the ankle with a plate and screws and my arm in a sling 🙂

I’m thinking that if theres enough force something has to break regardless of PPE but in case I can do any better on the protection front I thought I may aswell ask if anyone has suggestions for changes that might help in a repeat situation 🙂

For reference, I dropped the bike while trying to drive it from my back garden to front garden. It fell to the right, I hit the ground and the bike came down on top of me. Fractured a humorous and broke the corner of the tibia off.
