Haven't tried & not interested TBH.

Each to their own, but I'd rather concentrate on corner speed & what's happening ahead of me, rather than worrying where my knee was.

If it happens, it happens, it's nothing I'm aiming for though.

Pretty much my philosophy, although I might try and hang off a bit more on my next track day.

Only on a CG125. Like Baph, now interested in whats going on in front of me. Plus, dont have the confidence to lean it that far (at the mo)

i'd love to have my sv to try it on again

I haven't got the proper legwear/trousers to get my knee down yet, but I have managed to get the pegs down! But I don't really think this counts tbh

Same here.

My riding style is knees in.
