if that guy could fix that bike for sub $1000 he is buying hot parts, or he has a great supplier and should start selling the to others.
that is crazy the suit came apart, but there are alot of forces playing into there. Looks like it fails between the leather and the softer material in the knee area. It is hard to join those two types of material, but then again they are in the business of protection, so they should figure it out.

Here's to a speedy recovery! I highsided at 65 mph last fall on my Kat 750, but I was wearing leathers (chaps) from Wilson's. The knee stitching gave way on the inside of the right leg and left a hole, but with Levi 501s underneath, I came up without a scratch. Of course no two falls are the same. I tumbled sideways in a fetal position for seven tumbles; I counted the tumbles.
Seems like you would have been better protected with your gear than I was. My ankles received bad sprains, but I was off crutches in ten days and back on the bike thirty minutes after dropping the crutches. I'm still surprised my $110 leathers protected me better than your suit protected you. Get well and get back on.
