Oh man!

Gotta say though, my BiLT has held up way better than that. Saved my bacon four times now.

I've got the Bilt suit. I agree, it's not that great. But it's better than jeans. The boots are great, at least for commuting and street riding. But damn, that's pretty messed up to have that kind of damage on a low speed spill.

^Lol, might have to get some ointment for the rash on his balls, lol.

All you have to do is read the Bilt reviews on their site and you know not to buy their gear.

I have a jacket from them. It is decent. I just use it for commuting since it's waterproof and I leave it on my bike while I'm at work. If someone is dumb enough to steal a jacket that is worth 50 bucks, then so be it. My joe rocket jacket stays with me at all times though...

By low speed I mean about 60-70. He had the bilt boots too, the plastic on the side shattered, I'll see if I can get pics of that too. Joey I think you might know him he's a PCR member, oxnard chapter, rides a tiger stripped cbr.
