I don't think motocross gear or leathers or kevlars alone make flat track look like another bike sport, but DTX bikes plus MX gear, that some riders change colours from practice to racing at the same event, and from race to race, means they lack a recognisable identity. So I get your point but, in my opinion, kevlars probably wouldn't make flat trackers look like speedway riders because the bikes are so different to speedway bikes. Especially if the kevlars were designed to look more like traditional flat track leathers.<br />GarySideburn Magazinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388542247621130725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560521630633728472.post-16797074085794531012016-01-04T04:50:50.752+00:002016-01-04T04:50:50.752+00:00If the rule allows for kevlar as well, then no rac...If the rule allows for kevlar as well, then no racer is going to accept the weight deficit of a set of leathers. AMA st and tt isn't going to look like mx any more, its going to look like speedway instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468727358096219002noreply@blogger.com
