Bollock Protector...?

[TomGT]

Today I had a bit of a shunt, was reversed into at a set of traffic lights, insurance sorted, bike inspected, no problems.

However, the first thing that hit was my meat and two veg as I slid into the metal fuel tank, was nearly sick, and had to kneel at the side of the road for quite sometime before I could ride on..

Other than sticking a bit of foam onto the tank, is there a better way to protect myself, this time it was at about 10mph, but I dread to think what damage could be done at 30+

Why not use a ball hammer to make two suitably sized indents in your tank for your pods to nestle into gently?

You aren't a very luck fellow, are you?
Fortune surely cant SO disfavor you...
I think given all that's happened to you in recent months, a little life reflection, & attitude adjustment may be in order, got to be something you are doing to be SO unlucky... as my old gran used to say, we make SO much of our own luck in life, & lady luck just adds interest.

I guess you'd have to make sure it fit really well, otherwise could catch thes part of your anatomy you are aiming to protect and increase the damage of an impact.

Isn't this the main reason that they stopped fitting luggage racks onto fuel tanks - i.e. rather than just mashing of your gentleman's area, it would be outright ripped off.

The moral is, man up, it could be worse

when i crashed this happened to me... i seriously thought i was going to lose them... was a bit reluctant to go to my GP as my doctor a dick as he tried to make my mum strip after she complained about back pain.. so him touching my balls was a deffo no... so i decided to grind it out for 1-2 weeks without painkillers.

heres the thread i made.... https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=3310370&highlight=#3310370 enjoy -_-

Why didnt you use your horn? That's what it's there for.

And WHY were they reversing at some lights anyway?

Should you be unfortunate enough to repeat the experience, but at a higher speed then may I recommend that after the impact has occured that you don't rub them, but count them!

Unlucky fella

If you need one then perhaps there isn't much there to protect
