Is that you?

It was me last summer when I still had my beloved Ninja. Still, this summer will be great too. And plenty more chances to use up some of that road tax we pay for.

And of course it was on a private test track (cough). :shock:

Getting your knee down is not illegal... Coppers can't do much about it. Just as long as you just going round and round and impeading the traffic.

Good lad ;) Im yet to get my first knees down but cant wait to do it! :twisted:

[DanAbnormal]

Well...they do see it as inproper control of machine. I never do it in traffic. Just not worth it. And I tend to keep away from roundabouts. Too much spilt diesel, manhole covers and traffic. This was done at about 6 in the morning on a one way road. I love that bend!

I have to say I found it more difficult on my k5 sv650s as it's a lot taller than the Ninja. But it's still perfectly doable although be careful of that front end wobble. And make sure you have sliders on before trying to do it otherwise you just won't be able to do it.

Make sure you don't get both knees down at the same time eh! That hurts. :lol:

not illegal but they can apparently do you for dangerous driving or some sort of something or other lol..

cant see the point myself, I'm not a racer, I dont need to gauge my proximity to the floor....

There is no real point on the road other than it's just a bit of fun. Nothing more, nothing less. :wink:

but you could argue that you are in proper control of your bike, after all you won't do it if you would loose control at any moment.

Exactly my thoughts. In fact leaning off the bike can be safer as the bike is more upright giving better grip your honour. :lol: I doubt the cops would agree though and I guess it is a little naughty on the road.

I usually lean a little on most bends as it helps cornering.

They can try, and will succeed unless you have an independent witness or photographic evidence that points to the contrary.

Nice vid :D

But to quote Camp Freddy in the Italian Job

"Please be very careful" :D

I believe it's considered "driving without due care and attention".

Cheers. I made the sparky sliders myself. Got a hold of a bunch of cheap plain balck sliders and drilled a few holes and inserted titanium rods into them. All in all is worked out at about £11 a pair. Although they don't tend to last that long.
