Knee sliders

[Torque]

Where is the best place to get them and what type. I can only find one picture on the net and it's a wooden knee slider. Anybody used wooden ones before. Now i have started getting my knee down, i get through them like tyres!

[SuperDave]

Perhaps motorcycle shops and retailers have them?

But sarcasm aside most bike apparel stores will stock them.

You can cut up the white plastic chopping boards and bolt them on to some old ones!

Trying to get brett to bring in a good stock of them. Boyds have them, but near on $100 bucks each...

Been to all stores in Hamilton today. Road & Sport, Honda and Hamilton motorcycles. None of them stock them.

[kickingzebra]

Boyds definitly have some, I saw them not two days gone. Alpinestars ones

[SuperDave]

Shit, that's not good for Hamiltron - 'The city of the future' is it?
Maybe make a trip up to the big smoke and visit a few of our retailers here?

dude--the cheap sliders attached to most suits --they wear out like butter on a griddle as soon as you touch ya knee down.
You'll need to pay $60-100 for a decent set you can propperly load up--without wearing down to ya leather in 15 secs
--Ask Drunken monkey what i did to the set on his suit

I recommend wiz sparky's , they seem to last real well. Otherwise get the plastic/ceramic ones, straight plastic wears real fast.

Thanks Frosty and Death, will see if i can sorce some Sparkys

I have neo ones which seem quite good, I think theyre alpinestars one's without the alpinestars logo in the middle because they have the "racing ahead" on the outside velcro bit, theyre real big and meaty so last well

[Maido]

go ceramic, they last longer. i have had my current set since i brought my leathers in 03 (ride faster, i know i know!!)
plastic wears out fast.
also, if you want to annoy everyone behind you and become hated, put titanuim screws in them.

[Torque]

Sparks!!! now theres a good idea

[White trash]

Sparks are for homos.

Quasi sells knee sliders mate. I know, I've got a set in my innventory.

Also find that once the buzz of getting your knee down wears off you start to try and keep it off the ground and lean over more and more... just using it as an indicator to how far you have started to lean, also put way less weight onto you knee so your not pushing it into the ground so much, then sliders last for ages.
