Dress for the slide, not the ride.

Hit the ground at approx 170 mph on runway-grade tarmac, slide for approx 350m. The pic might not show it perfectly, but that's enough gouged out of the helmet to have left my brains on the runway. No concussion, no scarring. Walked away.

stark industries?! you could slide down the everest and walk away without a concussion!

On a racetrack, using an unrestricted 1400 ZZR.

I’m glad you survived intact, brother. Just wondering what the condition of the motorcycle is?

Surprisingly ok. Crank case was worn away and some of the bodywork cracked. A write-off, of course, but looked like 30 mph, not 170.

Incredible! Sorry to hear it was written off but I guess it isn’t a big surprise.
