Well guys went riding yesterday to run the bike in and test the fit the brace.
I ended up wearing it over the top of all my gear as this offered the best fit and being the most confortable.
It did not restrict any of my head movements and really didnt even feel as though i had it on,very very happy and would recomend it to anyone, as i belive becuse you can fit it over the top of your gear there is no need to cut biger neck holes in your ridding gear.
I also got a chance to test it
not really what i was trying to do though.
Riding along a fire trial that went near power lines,I just up shifted to 5 gear when the bloody road disapeared from beneath me ( poo!)
I ended up going nose down into what was now the road but some 8 ft down and promply took flight over the bars as the front wheel tucked under as i hit the ground!!
I got polaxed in the ground head first i think ,and poo it hurt!!
I think i need a new stack hat as i have bruising just above my left eye,The body armour wore the skin away on my left sholder and my chest inbetween my pecks feel like someone has punched me(I think this is due to the front of the brace deflecting the force)and my right thumb is swollen and bruised with very litte movement.
and a banged up left knee,but only a little sore.
But no neck pain at all and no back pain, the rest of the stuff will pass in a few days, so its ok.
I would of hated to imagine if i was not wearing the brace!!
So its been the best $500.00 I have ever spent !!
As for the bike, All good the forks got twisted and the rear guard is a little seconhand but otherwise good.
