I've got a set of Dainese sliders on my leathers. The slide nicely and hardly wear at all. Highly recommended.

I also have a set of sliders as used by DePuniet at PI last year. Not sure if I should wear them, or leave them in the cupboard. :)

‘Wattie’ you’ve got a fan. My little bloke was playing TT on the weekend. At first I wasn’t paying to much attention to him, but he’s rambling on….mum, mum, check this out. I can spark’em up just like Wattie. And sure as heck here he is racing the Z1000 around the track and sparkin it up, just like Wattie.. :D

Don't kid yourself Mick! You have no cred regardless of your sliders!!!! Lars however is a totally different story!! Have you seen him lately mate? I just thought as it was getting close to WSBK time, he may have made a practice appearance one or two times????? :lol:

No, he's been a bit quiet lately, but I did hear that he's started hitching his way down there already...but funnily enough no-one wants to pick him up because he looks too dodgy :shock:


...poor blokes got a long walk ahead of him :lol:
