Your tire story scares the hell out of me, now I need to go see if my sidewalls are made of kevlar. I wouldn't restitch that jacket. You got lucky that rip didn't open up more. I would just replace it. I highly recommend the Forma ADV Tourer Boots for commuting on a scooter, and they look normal (actually really nice) when just walking around. They are not cheap, but they will for sure keep you from getting any more holes in your feet. Also they are super comfortable.

Tire I bought from shinko. Ebay. They did refund me. I was not even going to try to ask for more. I will look into those. For now just going to make my repairs replace what I can and get back into it. :)

@@HRTBRKD0G I was noticing that the slice was a straight line and if the slice had come from an object on the road, it would not have been a straight line because the wheel would have been turning. Someone cut across that tire with a box cutter or something.

@@ariesmarsexpress all I know is that too. The company said it looked to be road damage and not a defect. I'm more willing to believe someone was unloading it and they took a box cutter to hear thinking it wouldn't slice through. But damage is already done
