Damn dude...looks like you took a nice shot. Those gloves look awfully thin too. Heal up.

those gloves suck, they were Alpine Star lether/textile gloves. But I didn't get any road rash on my hands, they did that much for me.

Ugh...I'm sorry to "see" how banged up you got Saxon. I am glad you will be okay. I have to say, I can not even imagine how bad your injuries would have been if you were not wearing gear. I hope our "gearless" friends are seeing this and taking it seriously.
Feel better soon!!

Sorry to hear that. Get better soon, bike can be fixed. Sounds like the Alpinestarz gloves did their job, saved your skin.

Looks like you had a more impact with the ground rather than a sliding crash though. Either way, heal up dude.
