[QUOTE="FJR-Pilot, post: 1094188, member: 4413"] Excellent response to a terrible situation. I am always concerned with all vehicles on the road but especially 18 wheelers. Your Aerostitch suit worked just like it was supposed to. Awesome! Let this be another testament to ATGATT. New riders need to understand how proper gear can save body parts or even your life. I am also concerned about foot damage. You had some and a good friend had some recently in a low side he experienced. How do we better protect our feet? Or is it even possible? What is the best foot protection? (just thinking out loud) Over 70F and I wear Bohn Armor pants, Kevlar jeans, Cortech Mesh jacket, and Cortech Latigo Boots. Under 70F I wear a Fieldsheer Cyclone Suit and Cortech Latigo Boots. I crash tested my Fieldsheer suit two years ago at about 45 MPH (low sided on ice on the Cherohala Skyway) and got up, dusted myself off and picked up the bike and rode 3 hours home. RHS Saddle bag got pretty scratched but Skyway's slider did its job perfectly (wish those were still made). Anywho. Thanks for sharing and I am so glad this had a happy ending. :-) Check out this 18 wheeler tire blowout: [MEDIA=youtube]qXEQ7SaWgw8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
