Do you get your knee down regular then? I have a mate who rides a BMW GS, he wears sliders, WTF! I can only imagine he keeps his werthers in them. What's the point in having them, 99% of people with them never get their knee down and certainly not on the road.[/quote]

Here's a 1200GS Adventure (a big beastie) with optional knee sliders ;) It's not mine (or me) because I have the faster version (as it's red) and I don't want to scratch the magnesium rocker covers on mine. BTW - they are not road tyres on that bike either :o

dude have you tried alpinestars? i think they come up short, but maybe thats jus me, knee sliders dont actually sit on ya knees, they are below and to the side. just a thought, dunno if that helps u.

Erm, I think you're supposed to still be on the bike when your knee's on the deck for it to count... ::) ::) ::)

I did read (not sure how accurate) but the part that your slider covers is giving it more protection in a prang, the article said if a car hits that part of your knee its almost irrepairable so even if you have virgin sliders they do serve a purpose :)

Yeah yeah :D We all know GS riders have sliders, to bang their pipe against ;)
