riding alone...managed to call the ambulance myself. yes...last week a guy i work w/ bought a new yamaha r6. he asked me to take it out & "scrub-in" the sides of his new tire cause he didn't feel comfortable yet leaning out, but needed the greasyness taken off. the first time i leaned out, i was shaking like a lil girl LOL

HELL YES!!! sent pics to arai & they wanted to borrow it for testing & sent it back to me afterwards. they said it took ~2700lbs per sq. inch to crack the chinbar like it was!!!! the helmet absorbed the majority of the impact, but since it was so close to my face, it still transferred some of the impact to my chin.
bottom line....no arai=dead man

the best of my memory, here is what happened......
i came into the curve @ ~75-80mph & had my line already set. i went to lean out & my shoe laces were caught around the pegs or heel guard, so i couldn't move my foot out to the edge of the peg like you do to lean the bike out. by the time i got my foot free(maybe 2 seconds), i was off my line considerably & was forced to lean the bike out much farther & faster. this caused the frontend to "washout" & i went straight off the road...bike & all. figure my face glanced the tree & that spun me & the bike 180degrees & it slid down the enbankment(very steep) on it's right side....doing the damage to the muffler.
