The awesome thing about the gravel was that it was only one side of the road and was similarly colored to the road. Basically booby trapped road. I watched He Man go down behind me after I'd been frantically pointing out the gravel. Sucks He Man. Sad

Those tar and chip roads are booby traps. Until all the chips get pushed off by car traffic, they just get pushed right into the lines where motorcycles tread.

i guess i dont have the right fitting helmet? i can bite my own cheek with the helmet on and the front of hte helmet doenst slam into my teeth, but either way when i fell, the helmet twisted when i fell on the top left side and my jaw moved. It was swollen enough that i couldn't bite down till this morning. Im good now minus some sore spots. Half of which confuses me because i went down on my left side, not my right. but my right side hurts.... it may have been me pushing the bike up two hills lol.

Defintely. You were talking about the AGV, my friend has one and its MIGHTY soft inside... and its not too expensive for the middle end models. Im going to find a place and try one of those on.

Don't we all wear a medium? You should try on Rudel's. I haven't seen a local dealer for those too many places. Actually, I think Cycle Therapy has them. The only thing I don't like about the AGV is the chin comes up a bit high for me. I'm sure it's more perception than anything, but I feel a bit exposed there.

"One of my better crashes..."

That'd be good comedy if it weren't so true...lol!

Feel better bro.

Sorry Pal.

Tar and gravel's what we call it in the Blue Ridge. Chip seal when I was out in Az. - all the same. The state may as well pay somebody to sit out by the road and take pot shots at you with a 22, as put that shit down on the hwy.

You learned something.

when you try it on.. if it's tight... get the next size smaller. that's what i saw one time about selecting helmets.

Glad you didn't have any serious injuries though.

My TiTech (from a couple of years ago) was ECE & DOT certified, not SNELL. Happy coincidence with the whole "helmets are too stiff" arguments that have since prompted SNELL to soften their tests (SNELL2010). The helmet is very comfortable and while visibility is a little reduced compared to the RF1000 I have, I'd say the TiTech wins just about everywhere else. Obviously IMO.

Sorry to hear about yet another crash. Glad you're still in one piece though.
