I first managed it 12 years ago on my first sv..the local council set aside some land for an industrial estate, put in a lovely roundabout, no pavements and loads of run off if needed..then ran out of money, so it was never used..
We managed to learn just how far the sv could lean...not hanging off but still scraping knees pegs, even standard exhaust too..
We got so brave we learnt how to powerslide out of roundabout too...never tried on main roads though..

Dave, I may be totally wrong and as I've never even attempted getting my knee down feel free to ignore this, but are you not supposed to keep toes on the pegs to avoid that happening?

Having seen the way Dave hangs of the bike in corners, I am surprised that he doesn't have scraps on his elbows as well lol
