Busted and Broken - DUI

Icon,

I headed out on a Sunday to ride with the guys from my bike club. I jumped on the freeway to head to our local meet spot and as I was cruising on the freeway I noticed a vehicle that was swerving from lane to lane. I eventually passed the car and as I exited the freeway the same car exited behind me. As I stopped at the red-light the car didn't. I was hit while sitting at the stop sign from behind at approx. 45 MPH. I was thrown off my bike about 50 feet! I saw the ground coming toward me and I braced for impact. I hit the ground and was knocked unconscious and next thing I know I'm in the ER. Yes the cops caught the guy who hit me and yes he was drunk.

Thanks,

Nick C.

Do you have a great photo of you in your Icon gear? If so, head over to the Official Icon Motosports Facebook Fanpage and post it up. We'll grab our favs and repost them on the blog. Then you'll be able to tell everyone your sponsored by Icon, which will be a lie, but we won't step on your game.

Choose a Side

We aren't trying to start any beefs. We aren't trying to instigate an east coast versus west coast war. We just wanted a simple statement to indicated from which side you prefer to exit your bike. We only have a few of these tee's left - get one before they're gone. Hell, get them both and then head out to the supermoto track for a mad session like the following video.

Busted and Broken - Jacobs Ladder

I'm driving on the highway on my 07 GSXR600 and some guy in a beat up pick up truck flys by me in the left lane, and I'm like wow what a douche. So seconds later after he is about 10 car lengths ahead of me I see a 22ft extension ladder fly off his truck, now as its bouncing and fliping around, I'm like WTF so I squeeze the brakes to slow down and hopefully avoid it, but it lands right in front of me the long way so I have no choice but to run over it. I make it over the ladder but lost control of the bike The bike fell to the right side then stands back up and high sides me off the left side. Luckily I was wearing my gear, mostly ICON (Hooligan Jacket, Victory Riding Jeans, and Field Armor knee and elbow pads) I had few brush burns but nothing serious and a few bruises but the gear is really what saved me from serious injury. The jacket had a few tears in it, and the jeans have a small blemish/scrape in the knee but didn't tear thru. I'll always wear gear while riding especially ICON because its the best in my opinion. I rolled on the pavement for 60-80ft and I'm truly shocked how well the mesh jacket held up, only had 2 tears and the rubber icon symbol scraped. also the riding jeans had one abrasion on the knee from the initial impact but no tears that went thru. I swear by these jeans! 

Thanks,
