    top rack id?

    I had that rack on my bike with a GIVI E52 mounted. Nice quality. I noticed that it allows the top box to flex alot more than the GIVI mount that replaces the stock grab rails. If I had it to do again I would get the GIVI. Just my $ 0.02

    2014 BMW R1200RT

    I agree with this statement. I took a test ride and now have a deposit on a 2014 GS Adventure.

    I'm sure he will agree with us once he gets a job.

    Aerostich Crash Tested Suit Report

    Hopefully it convinces someone ATGATT does work. I got my suit all washed up ready to ship back to Duluth for repairs. Maybe I can even get head of line privileges so I have it back before the wet season. :-)

    Aerostich Crash Tested Suit Report

    I sent this story to the folks at Pelican Case and complimented them for making such a strong case. I just received an email from Richard White, Pelican Products Customer Services Representative, and he said they are sending me two replacement cases covered under warranty. Talk about great...

    Aerostich Crash Tested Suit Report

    Aerostich Crash Tested Suit Report

    I'm not sure of the exact speed that my suit hit the pavement. I figure it was 50-55 mph after I bled off a bit of speed. I think I slid around 75 feet or so judging by the debris field and where I came to rest. Either way I'm impressed with the way the suit protected me and I didn't lose any...

    Aerostich Crash Tested Suit Report

    I use to think that it was okay to sometime ride around town without proper riding pants. I figured my lower extremities would be less likely to be injured. I was wrong.

    Aerostich Crash Tested Suit Report

    I found a photo of the trucks tire I agree the bike looked good considering the crash. I haven't had it to the shop yet but the damage so far consists of the banged up Pelican cases, right handle bar ground down a bit, broken windshield and right side mirror, some more grinding on the right...

    Aerostich Crash Tested Suit Report

    Thanks for all of the positive responses. I agree that I am one lucky SOB. As far as the trucking company goes I have no ill feelings. The driver could not have predicted the blowout and did everything he could to get back in his lane. In fact the driver was very concerned with my well being...
