Full house of dates for 2022 FIM Sidecar World Championship

Have you thought about inflating leathers?
From Graham Masheder….
“Having been in discussions with BKS Leathers they are confident that they can utilise the Alpinestars Tech-Air technology for sidecar drivers, but unfortunately not for the passenger.”
What do you think? Would you use them? I think if I was a driver I would… and thank you Graham for asking the question!
