Sorry to hear about your tumble Andrew...didn't see your post at 
"Faceplant" on advrider...hope you're okay!  Crashing sucks!

Up in Vermont, we still have snow on the ground so no riding yet.  I did 
buy a new Odyssey battery and a new Nolan N-102 helmet...maybe we could 
start a helmet thread. Who likes their new Schuberth C2??  And, last 
season I thought I'd try out some Avon tires...I like them a lot, but 
everyone is now saying how good the Z6s are...damn, now I have to wear 
out the Anons.

Just got back from a week in Costa Rica...now there's where all the 
worst roads are!! Crazy Ticos fly on their dirt bikes.   Peace and ride 
safe.
