Yeah, that bike was def totaled.
Sorry Damir, I don't have an opinion on Puma gear. I have not heard of them until you asked and I googled it.
I think for the money and quality Alpinestars is the way to go. The only downside to them is they're def on the higher price end.
I would also say don't buy ICON gear. They make a few really good leather jackets but that's about it.
Whenever you come across a group of sport bikes crusing through town or by the night clubs check out their gear (if applicable) and buy the opposite.
Yea Icon gear doesn't impress me much. Only piece of ICON gear I have had is a pair of gloves that were actually pretty good and held up rather well but seems like they shoot more to the street and stunt scene rider more than for safety and such

I don't know. My first helmet was an ICON and compared to my Shoei it sucks. I got a lot of wind buffeting which lead to fatigue after a few hours.

The lack of fatigue was in a review I read on Shoei helmets and a big reason why I switched. Plus their lite like a feather... but they start at $350 and that's on sale.
350 that's good stuff the x-12 I use on track well ouch
You guys wouldn't know any local stores that have Dainese?
Thanks all have to call around..... I'm still thinking cheaper online

sportbiketrackgear.com for online. If you don't buy from them, find what you want and chances are they've done a video review on it (on their site and youtube).
Nice have to check it out I mostly use kneedraggers.com

Most of us FOGS on here...are just speaking from expierence. Have you ever watched a moto gp race? Or for that fact been out to HPR for a track day? Look at what people are wearing.
My first Jacket was an ICON, and after my wreck at 65, every zipper was torn apart...but the friction burns even through the CE's in my elbows took it to the bone..yet not one scratch in the leather. Did I buy another? No.
Wearing whats good for you vs. wearing whats safe for you? IMO I'll go for saftey. Been around long enough that I know people like N_N know what their talking about. Was first person to give me kick ass remedys for my road rash.
Be carful to judge and read a few posts from certain peeps who have been around the block and back. Just my opinion..I'm one of those whos been around for awhile.

Good call on the riding gear man. Even a low-speed off can jack you up! Glad you're ok.

I've got a custom 1pc, and I had a Teknic suit long ago, but other than that all my leathers (1 & 2pc) have been Dainese.
They're amazingly tough and well-built. They also are a notch above most others in build quality.
While they're expensive I think this is one case where you get what you pay for...
