I've just bough one but do ya reckon it really did Vazz! You tend to think they save ya because you have them on but maybe you coulda been just as OK without it? We never really know do we?? Gonna try mine tomorrow felt a bit bulky putting it on in the garage though??Originally Posted by vazza
Yeh mate I don't think they are marketed as a knee brace but compared to those knee pads they are much better. Well bloody good for the price?
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

Roost Deflector, I have NO idea why the heck they are called that LOL
I was looking at one on TM this morning

Basically a bit o plastic that in the forests I would guess invaluable for keeping you a bit more bruise free. If you whack into a branch, the plastic will take the brunt.

Get behind a 450 at pace and youll soon know what "roost" is
Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses
told ya so
roosted...

Follow a 450 too close on an MX track and you soon will....
Roost = Sand, dirt, clay, rocks, worms and small furry animals thrown up in a "rooster tail" behind an accelerating bike.....

This is roost, never been on the receiving end of a 450 roost, pretty much everyone else is on 250's up here, but I'm told it feels like someone is firing a rock salt shotgun cartridges at you continuously ( dry as clay track ).

Which you cop directly on your front and face!! Its called being "ROOSTED".
Sometimes happens by accident! Sometimes the passing rider will give it a fistful of throttle to "roost" you!!!
Then you'll get ribbed back at park up,"roosted" you he'll say, you'll deny it, but the mud and crap stuck to your front and the fact your still spitting it out will make you a liar!!!
