Thundersprint organiser and classic racer Frank Melling has good reason to be thankful he made a Weise choice when it comes to his racing leathers, following a serious crash while competing on his G50 Matchless at Donington.
"The breather tube split on the Matchless and put oil on the back tyre. The rest, as they say, is history. I walked away with minimal damage except a bruised nose and other assorted lumps. This was almost nothing from a 70mph off."
I was also wearing a Weise suit [in addition to a back-protector] and the combination meant that a potentially very nasty crash resulted only in damage to the bike. This is expensive but can be fixed whereas personal injuries are much more serious. The same accident pre-body armour would have been really nasty."
