just goes to reiterate that quality pays every time.
dont scrimp and save on your bike or gear because one day you may need it to save you..

plenty of folks will back up that from personal experience... :icon_thumleft:

yeah yeah i know i may seem a bit biased towards quality kit working for hein gericke.
but ive always worn good quality kit myself even before working for them,you gotta protect your assets.
a spell in hospital wishing you had spent the extra money on good leathers or helmet  isnt a place i want to be ..
just  reflect on the time you were glad you bought good kit.
i did once with an arai corsair then 3 weeks later binned my first zx10 and landed on my head and got up without a headache whilst the 10 was totally knackered.
i was glad i had bought a quality lid even though it had lasted only 3 weeks,but i could tell the tale..

 :iamwithstupid: a similar thing happened on a very slow off while on me dads old vf750 , my hand got trapped under the clutch and dragged down the road, if not for the leather gloves i'd of had no skin to go on the smashed hand
so even on a slow off you could get nailed so i always no matter what where all the gear  :icon_thumright:
