Default Thinking about getting some knee sliders

There are these dirty great big velcro patches on the new jeans I picked up at the BMF. Now I don't need knee sliders by any stretch of the imagination but since I now have the option... it's tempting. Of course trying getting some would then open up a whole new can of worms in that you don't want nice shiney sliders either do you? Decisions decisions.

I'm proud of my shiney, unscuffed knee sliders - I can gat round corners well anough without having to clamber all over my bike like a deranged little monkey.

They are also quite good knee protection if you (heaven forbid) come a cropper or happen to be cut up by a car that went so close it took out it's wing mirror on your slider - much better than hitting your knee.

Secretly (well not so now) I would like to be able to get my knee down...

It seems to be the Northampton & Nearby Massive on this morning. (Not checked where that thread is at recently).

I may soon have a scrubbed set available, depending on how I get on with leather ones at my next track day.

You may aswell, although its unecessary the majority of the time its still fun to do, even if some people think your a plonka for doing it(normally the ones who cant do it, but will claim they have no interest in doing it j/k)

They're also useful when you want to kneel down on the ground in your leathers, lol (as I have found out!).
