Leaned into a 30 corner dragging a knee and rear tire bounced from a groove that was from an earlier accident. Rear end bounced and went out. Left hand came off handle right hand got caught and yanked me into a barrel roll down the road. Landed on back and rolled off the side of the road.
Some off us get second chances on a bike, most people dont.

gear use update:
Obviously my gear has been significantly compromised. Do a thourough examination before using. pay attention to any threads that may have been exposed to abrasion. once the thread has been broken it is can be easy to pull them out. Below is an update.
Jacket has <2k additional miles
gloves have <7k additional miles with 8+ months of daily use, note hole on thumb, and how these are the first pictures of the thumb. The gloves have never been cleaned
boots have 8500 more miles and 1+years of use(3ish years old now) and showing separation of soles.
Now own another jacket, and some RS taichi boot out perf leather pants.
