I didn’t have leathers/sliders the first time I did it either!!
It was on my CB100N … {google-fu} looked just like this, the bike that is, not me!!
(I loved that little bike):-
Anyway, mine was more premeditated than yours though … realising if I was gonna try and do it and that I needed some sliders, I actually duck-taped some leather welding gloves (my mate was a welder and he ‘borrowed’ some from work) to my jeans!!
When I first got touch down it ‘grabbed’ like hell, but I didn’t care, I had got my kneedown
Don’t think I bothered trying again for years after that initial kneedown
