Ken,
Frame sliders worked well for me when someone knocked my bike over in
the street. The frame slider was bent by the fall but the bike only
had minor damage. See
http://www.rgalea.com/bikes/st/sliders.html
They did not work out so well for the friend I sold the bike to when
he had a 40-50mph get off (bent frame and broken engine mounting
point) but I will let him tell that story.
Rupert
