Sorry to hear about your friend...

I've never been a fan of Icon products, especially the older stuff.
IMO they weren'y very well made and had plain padding for "armor".

Some of the more recent stuff has gotten better, but in my experience, the Fieldsheer, Cortech, Teknic, Alpinestar textiles and some of the Joe Rocket stuff all perform much better than Icon.

Leather is definitely the most protective, but even so, a well made textile will outperform an inexpensive, not very well made leather.

[Mrs. ~T~]

its a good thing he was wearing a helmet. or his face would still be on the road...

[AznGoneNuts]

jesus... im glad i was sick last night with a 101 fever. or that could've been me. whoever that wrecked glad your ok with just minor road rash.

sheeesh both of my jackets (leather, textile) are ICON:eh:

[therky42]

doh ....how did he wreck anyways? we were on a straight
He was huggin the turn and he hit the drain on the curb, the level drops down, Ill post the pic of it later. but he went down right there and slid into the curb.

[therky42]

i still cant believe we put that bike in the back of the mitsubishi suv!

[bdmpastx]

Hey, that jacket was better than nothing at all. But yeah leather is the only way to go.

[Romeo36]

yea i dont think ive ever seen a bike laid down in the back of an suv. we needed a truck to pick it up not an ambulance.
but anyways it was fun riding with you guys last night. when it warms up i'll come out more often

[andre3k]

Racer X told you that they weren't the best before you even bought it. But you were stuck on the whole pink theme. I remember that thread unfortunately...thats the same one you were complianing about expensive helmets...

Glad he was able to walk away. Looks like a long slide, so the textile still did better than a long-sleeved shirt or nothing; he'd still be picking concrete and blacktop out of it!

[alrova]

it doesn't look like the frame slider did a good job. I might be wrong.

[TLLuvr]

Definently better than nothing glad he is ok.

Tecnics wreck good, Ive seen someone wreck at 170 and all it did was rip the stitching and scuff it to all hell.. all the damage to him was carpet burn from the inside of the jacket:icon_thum

[less_than_coop]

where is RacerX? shouldnt he be here b*thcing about icon? or maybe saying everyone should wear full Vanson leathers?
weird.

[therky42]

it protected everything above it really the big damage was to the stator cover but it ground through that.

The guy that went down was actually riding with us all night nor does he post on here, well at least hadnt as of yesterday. He joined up with us on memorial and tagged along he was heading downtown to a friends place or something. Dont know how long he had been riding or anything and wasnt going real fast just riding too close to the curb and hit the off set drainage ditch and then went down. The jacket saved his hide, but he did have some rash on his forarm, def would have been fine in good leathers but the jacket did do its job...........but im sticking with leather dont care how hot it gets!

[chasee69]

for 50mph it looks like it helped a lot to me! yeah leathers would have been better though

[andre3k]

it did its job. once you go down in any textile jacket you will be buying a new one. it took me a while to get full leathers, but now that i have them i love them.

[Romeo36]

hey who has a picture of the bike in the back of the suv

[A303]

besides the motor that bike looked really good after the crash

[B.S. Motorsports]

I went down at 85-95 mph into a guard rail on a freeway wearing my joe rocket mesh jacket and its still in near perfect condition....I always said icon was junk there all about style and not about safty i love my mesh jacket.....

I think all the rest are reposts.

[TLLuvr]

I can't believe yall got that bike in there...

[therky42]

yea i know, it only too like 15 of us too:keke:

[scrapp]

WooooooooooW. That is straight pwnt. Im glad he is OK, and hope the bike can easily be fixed.
that is straight textbook though, it showed exactally what happend. If he is new, I used to do that. when epople were behind me, I would move to one side of the lane because of where they were, and woudl get nervous, and get close to the curb.

[andre3k]

Wow I feel sorry for the next cars or bikes that had to drive through that big ass oil slick.

[BigComfy]

Ouch! Yeap Icon is Junk from my experience. Glad he's ok and didn;t take anyone else down with him.

[AznGoneNuts]

is it just me? or is his right peg suppose to be for the left side?

[A303]

no, it turned completely upsidedown in the wreck somehow

[mammothmc]

For the record,

Mesh ain't textile. Cordura would have easily prevented those injuries.

[therky42]

mesh aint textile and textile aint leather

[YankeeR6]

Damn glad I was playin poker last night. WOW Glad the kid is ok though.

LOL. well put tree-hugger! lol j/k

[GsxrStar]

lol

[Rick H.I.C.]

Ouchie!

[thatboygeorge]

i wrecked at 55 mph with a hoodie on and didnt get any road rash well i had a long sleeve shirt under that too but still i got lucky

[GsxrStar]

we have a new king of curb check's

[thatboygeorge]

did somebody say we got a new curbcheck? nawww foo 99blackr1 is the curbcheck...lol

[NO MORE F4I]

so he curb checked the bike? why was he so close?

[2Fast]

i saw the bike at the shop it aint that bad.
easy fixer, the only issue is the case has a small spot that has been touched by the rode. should still seal up.

sliders helped alot. no damage on the tank minimal on the tail and upper. almost none on the slip on.
]
\
shound be that close to the curb. theres no way out when u ride that close . if another guy goes down u only have 1 exit. and thats right. u would want to have 2 shots outta trouble.

one of my good friends did the same thing 3 yrs ago and died in front of my face. curbed checked and hit a gaurd rail. noobie mistake that costs alot.

anyway,

[bikerboyz]

dang that is one nasty cut, i remember i had a cut like that on my leg and arm and every time i would take a shower that shitt would hurt like a mother sucker, espicaly when you go to sleep ouchhhhhhhhhh
