Crash: the first full hairpin going westbound through App Gap, past Mad River Glen (roughly center here), second gear on the ex250, probably 25-30ish MPH, maybe 35, had that "oh, crap, this corner is tighter than I remembered" feeling and looked up and cranked my head around to look for the exit.
Next thing I know, I'm on the ground sliding next to my bike. Further inspection (after moving bike to side of road) reveals liquid on front tire, and I then noticed that there was a liquid trail through the traffic lane. Lesson: look through the corner, but glance at the pavement, too—there are no corner workers on the street.
I was wearing full gear (after all, I was on my way to Bike Night, and I didn't want Doc to yell at me). Boots (Oxtar Matrix) and gloves (A* GP Plus) sustained minor scuffing, although a finger seam on the gloves did fail about a week later.
The Darien pants I was wearing held up pretty well, with an abrasion through the surface layer on the knee and some abrasion damage to an adjacent seam.
Not bad, and I may send them in to Aerostitch for repair (haven't decided yet). I'm pretty comfortable thinking that they'd probably also hold up reasonably well in a higher-speed pavement slide.
The Teknic jacket was another story. The exterior seam over the shoulder seems to have been abraded to the point of total failure. This seems like lousy design—the critical seam is over the top of the armor, in a high-abrasion location.
I don't want to think of what would have happened with another 20 MPH to deal with. I do think that the armor in the Teknic jacket is of better quality than the rest of the jacket—although I was sore the next couple of days, I did finish the ride to Bike Night (and then ride home later).
