Cool, it was just a funny story at the time.The heat would be radiated from the fire to his skin and then have to conduct to get to the plate. The plate couldn't get hotter than the skin and meat between it and the fire and the thermoreceptors and nociceptors are in the skin.
Could have been the plates being cooler than the flesh around, giving the sensation of hot?The heat would be radiated from the fire to his skin and then have to conduct to get to the plate.

Could have been something to do with the the pot they were all smoking?Could have been the plates being cooler than the flesh around, giving the sensation of hot?
That is a bastard. Plate up, heal up quick, and in the meantime, name that trail.
Welcome to the clavicle club!I have been building some trails on my property and went down to take some measurements for a little timber feature. Everything is soft still and I was just cruising down on the trail bike in my steel cap boots with a measuring tape on my hip. Went over what must be the smallest jump and somehow ended up with my right boot through the triangle. Landed on my side as my foot was caught up. Got up and noticed the crunchiness in the shoulder. Sore hip from landing on my tape measure too.
Surgeons said they would plate it up on Tuesday or Wednesday if I want, otherwise just leave it. I think I will take them up on the offer.View attachment 398563
(this was last weekend btw)Be some stitches to come?
Sounds nasty!That seems a bit odd. It looks plenty grim! Skin on the lower leg seems to peel back with a lot of vigour. I have had 2 similar incidents, both on my right leg. The first was a cut from (exaggerated a little here...but roughly) from just above my ankle to a little below my knee. The doctor gave me 5 stitches for the serious bit and the rest was mild. The other ended up with 24 stitches all around my Achilles. I think all the spikes got me.
Hopefully it's a speedy recovery and the bike has no time to gather dust or rust
Less nasty and more unfortunate placements of injury.Sounds nasty!
Separate knee and shin pads works fine, IMO. poc vpd 2.0 + the poc vpd shins fit well and don't move. my 661 shins are ok but it takes some faffing with the 3 velcro tabs at the back to get them just right if you don't have stick legs.Less nasty and more unfortunate placements of injury.
The alternative pins await you...
I currently don't have any knee-shin pads. They aren't trendy enough at the moment and I feel naked riding without them.
Stick legs...not a concern here. I ran set after set after set of the tld Lopez set up and ideally something like that will eventually pop up....if you don't have stick legs.
Damn that's OG!Stick legs...not a concern here. I ran set after set after set of the tld Lopez set up and ideally something like that will eventually pop up.

it's it funny though how we go full circle?
Starting off... wearing full face and pads all the time.
then it gets too hot, you get too lazy or over confident, and start wearing less and less gear. Until one day you have a massive off and start kitting back up again until the cycle repeats.
I still have my CTR's but they are a bit worse for wear.Stick legs...not a concern here. I ran set after set after set of the tld Lopez set up and ideally something like that will eventually pop up.
