Dirty Buggane 200 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So last week I know, but noticed a police bike at the lights at the bottom of Broadway and that in its self is a rarety. But what I did notice is he was adorned in knee sliders and wondered why?, do they have to travel at such speeds they require them. As far as I am aware the only reason they are worn is to aid the knee to slide whilst on the floor and no protection what's so ever from impact infact more likely to cause injury.

Cylinder head sliders be more use, shurely :P Some leathers do come *with* knee sliders, but as they are ablative and meant to be replaced, they are detachable (usually attached by velcro) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
