Re: [ST] Sliders

[iPat <pmdavies@xxxxxxxxx>]

im just about to get some on, i considered your tales against other
peoples and weighed up the options. No sliders would leave a pretty
messed up bike. If the sliders do any extra damage as you had then i
have to weigh it up against the damge of a slide at speed. In my
experience that is most likely a write off anyway.
