That is an ugly shoulder, how did you manage that through the leathers? How did the bike fair? | ||

The proof is in the puddin Barker! Good to see you're only cherried and ok! That Under Armour ain't cheap to replace! (like you have that to worry about) | ||

Dammmmmn... you really know how to party, man. You found a way to drag both knees and a shoulder! You need full body sliders Barker! | ||

Attention wh0re!   | ||

How fast was that "get-off" ? Your shoulder looks like you slid for a mile. Those are leathers right ? You didn't just paint a pair of Dr. Dentons did you ? Glad to see both rider and bike seem to be OK. | ||
| Donutclub |
It looks like your leathers slid down your shoulder...........and bunched up on your arm. I had a similar think happen with a cheap AGV suit about 8 years ago. I'd highly recommend a custom sized suit that is fit for your dimensions. | ||
| Barker |
rash thru leather freaky IMHO. but I got myself and the bike back together and limped around under the lights! note the visor is duck taped back on.  | ||
| Azxb9r |
note the visor is duck taped back on. Thats 100mph tape when you are using it at the track  | ||
| Mbsween |
Are those the teknic chicane leathers? I just got a set, hmmm maybe I needed to spend a little more.... | ||
| Barker |
i'll never buy that suit again. | ||
| Danger_dave |
Sympathies - that sh*t feels horrible as it heals. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
glad to see your alright for the most part barker. your young so that'll heal up quicker than if you were my age. were you down in burmingham. | ||
| Barker |
it was nashville superspeedway yep it is still healing, im still sore. I was really disoriented when it happened the big "oh crap" came when my wife  was standing on the side of the track when I stood up to get my bike. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
so how did she handle it. hopefully better than mine did when i spilled her bike. | ||
| Massgirl |
oh mann, that crazy stinkss at least you're ok for the most part | ||

Buy the best gear. forget about the carbon fibre heel protectors and the billet dip-stick boys. The place to save some loot aint the gear dept. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I don't think the suit was faulty or anything. I think it was one of those freak things. There was NO rash any where else I don't believe (I didn't look that closely honestly.). The suit was almost completely undisturbed. Looks like he landed 100% of his weight on his shoulder. I wonder if one of the armored under suits might provide the inner protection. | ||
| Ceejay |
the under armor stuff is made to transfer heat-its a two way street. If the heat's coming from the body it will "release" it to your suit then the atmosphere, if the heat is coming from your suit-well you see/felt the results... | ||

"Thats 100mph tape when you are using it at the track" Actually it was 140mph tape on the Niner.  Fatty, +1 I'll try to take a pic of the suit to show yall. It has a small scratch. It did not roll off my shoulder. The wound was created by the suit against my skin. Where can I score shoulder pucks? Or better yet, where can I score titanium shoulder pucks?  | ||
| Djkaplan |
So what happened? Did it step out on you or what? | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Friggin' right hand. Barker's suit isn't baggy or ill fitting at all. The suit didn't fail or come apart. It was just one of those weird things. I almost think that they under armor stuff aided in allowing the suit to slide around and it shifted. I'd be willing to bet you that had you been wearing a long sleeved cotton t-shirt that didn't allow the suit to slide, you wouldn't have the damage you did. | ||
| Teddagreek |
Glad you made it out okay... its the Just heat transferring... its Kinda of a burn... I've had this happen through jeans and long sleeve shirts a bunch of times.. I was wearing a pretty thick Hoody when this last one happened..  | ||
| Rick_a |
Thanks for sharing. Sucks that the strawberry may have been due to the under armor...that stuff is comfy. | ||
| Rick_a |
BTW...was the tail on the bike before it happened? | ||
| Barker |
tail was off before wreck and in case yall were wondering the Dark horse Moto sliders did there job very well. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Until the corner flag person brought them to you off the track. Coulda been when you got hit in the rear tire. | ||
| Lonexb |
barker was the under armor shirt all there and just ripped a part? kind of hard to tell from the pick. brian | ||
| Barker |
the crash ripped a very large hole in the shirt. it was still attached to the shirt, i cut it off in the pic that you see. | ||
| Lonexb |
just wondering. i had a buddy crash with leathers on. his under armor shirt melted to him. not like liquid shirt, but enough to pull at his skin to make him bleed a little. it looked a lot like what your arm looks like. brian | ||

That's it from now on whenever I'm on the track it's commando ! |
