What's that stuff? D2 something or other...

Saw a news article the other week....A new protective substance that basically means you could fall out of an aeroplane form 45,000 feet, land on the runway, brush yourself down and go back to the office. Ok, slight exaggeration, but did anyone else see the pr!ck smashing his mate around with a spade (garden tool) with no ill effects??!!

Wouldn't it. I'm off to the track, so I'm just gonna chuck on the "stuff". Bin it...no worries!!

In fact how funny would it be to cover your bike in that expandable foam stuff and set off round the track!!!

I can see it now , comes in self adhesive rolls, you stick it on for track days and you can remove with a cleaner.. Only have to make it heat proof...

Brilliant! So, we've got the bike covered, now I suggest a load of mini airbags (sewn into your leathers/textiles) that deploy in the event of a pending disaster....in my case, a lean angle of more than 2 degrees!!
