” You saved my hide! On 17 April, I was headed to work when someone cut me off. I avoided the car, but both the bike and I went down. 
When I stopped sliding, I did a quick inventory and everything was still attached. I literally jumped up, surprising everyone who saw the accident. My air mesh jacket and pants protected every part of me – not a scratch, scrape, cut, or bruise!. The bike, however, is another story: so far the front wheel, forks, and steering stop are bent; the fender, fairing, windscreen, mirror, and many other parts are broken. I’ll stop by to shake your hand, and tell you that after all these years wearing your gear, it paid off. ”
