Default can you get your knee down poll (Again)

well, can you ?

its not big and its not clever - but we still try.

i cant.
i can get my pegs down - but havent the courage to push it any more.
being a shortie dont really help either 5'5, as i see riders not leaning as far as me - going slower than me draggin their knee.

to be honest i've never tried. only been riding 6 months so me shifting my **** off the seat on a bend wouldn't be something i'd try.

Yup, when the conditions are right.

Got a new set of leathers and sliders before xmas just itching to get them down now.

CAN'T

But then again I haven't properly tried. I haven't got any knee sliders. Probably couldn't anyway, but then I don't think there is any need on the road (everyone who can't do it says that don't they?)

ah, Myself an Itching have discussed this, and we reckon that its not you but Ben on your bike. Hence the fact that you have matching leathers.

Wish i could.

the lack of leather trousers and knee sliders kinda hampers any real attempts at trying although i'm confident enough to hang of the bike etc.

The rear tyre being mismatched to the front one also dont inspire confidence at the moment, but both these issues will be sorted out soon enough and i hope to be able to join this "for the hell of it" club before the end of this year.

The roundabouts that gricey showed me at the weekend are a lot better than the ones i practice on at the moment too...so there is hope for me yet.
