His Aprilia MotoGP bike decided it sucked so bad that it didn't want to live anymore and took its own life... with him on it.

Yeah the sliders hold up well, here's a photo from a pretty nasty crash and they saved the bike:

No, the sliders prevented the tank from becoming toast, literally.

Serious question,does the tank stick out extra far on the R6 or something? My bike has low sided twice and high sided once and the tank was never touched.

but yeah the pucks help save your bike but I'm just saying it's a design flaw from Yami... basically a bad down and your bike is a moltov cocktail... or buy these pucks and you'll still have to get a new tank... |
