I had a low speed low side on the track and the bike flipped and got pretty beaten up. I had R&G sliders on the bike. The right slider was bent way backwards and it damaged the frame a little. It clearly caught on something (maybe the edge of grass).
I am getting a new bike and trying to decide if I want to put sliders on it at all. I know this has been discussed in various venues and I also searched this site for experiences.
Is there a consensus on this point?
I know people use them for street, where the greater chance is you set it down while standing still (non-accident) in which case the slider clearly protects the bodywork. My question really relates to the track, better with our without sliders with street bodywork.
Thanks
