You know what miffs me right off?

[Thom]

People that use certain bike gear as a fashion accessory.

I'm thinking knee sliders!

Now i'm not claiming i've even had my knee down, and don't have any real urge to, but i saw a pic of someone on here earlier with unmarked knee sliders, and i regularly see people walking in durham with them on.

I personally think they look ridiculous unless theyre scraped!

Does this bother anyone else or am i being petty?

To me it's very much "all the gear no idea", or too much money!

I would tend to agree. Un-scraped knee-sliders would be an embarrassment for me. They are kind of a proof that one knows how to take their bike to the limit, though obviously there are ways of getting ones knee down on a bike that don't involve going to that limit.

Nar im just in a pissy mood to be honest!

But it does annoy me, possibly because i can't afford new converse nevermind leathers at the moment

maybe some people dont KD, why would they take their sliders off because they offer some added protection against an accidental KD

[skinny]

fair play when you do get some decent leathers do you want my old worn out sliders so you don't hate your self.

lol i never thought of that and it's true to be honest!

i also never thought of use knee sliders as protection in an accidental knee down either, spose there is a reason to have them!

i can't knee down and mine are scuffed, hurrah for me.

i did take them off for a while but recently thought i'd try to KD again, i have yet to try properly.

its another one of those things that doesn't really interest me, i'd like to do it but my cock is big enough to cope if i don't

I think we should all wear no sliders and just go around with our knee caps hanging out and who ever's aren't bleeding DIE!

[Cigaro]

Who cares? Some people want to wear them, others don't. Me, I wear no gear at all. It doesn't matter.

[Mr.Everready]

I've got unused sliders on my leathers. I've can't go roundabout surfing cos there arn't any near me and on the road even taking corners at high speed my knee doesn't touch down. I do try sometimes and one day it will happen.

How do you suppose people get used knee sliders for the first time if they don't wear any ?

Mine arn't scuffed, but they are there for whenever it happens or on a trackday, whats worse is people buying race rep 1 piece suits, seen a few people with toseland leathers + all the gear, thats funnier

for me its the first thing i look at when i see another biker, if his sliders are scuffed, if they are not i just think, noob, and chuckle to myself!

i must have 12 pairs of used sliders in me cuboard, dont know why i keep em really, might put em on ebay as some twats seem to buy em on there.

if any one wants any i will swap one pair of worn out knee sliders for your new ones
