It always feels like you're hanging off much further than you actually are.

Where are you getting knee downs? I've never even got close on the road and have never found a suitable spot to practice. I don't like riding repeatedly up and down the same country road as I feel like I'm taking the **** with the locals.

I've got a mate in Milton Keynes, maybe that would be a start?

MK is a great place for islands but loads of traffic there, any large island will do but not with cars on.

Nope, you just need to find the correct bends. My left is way much more worn than my right. Anyway, wel done Kwak I knew you could do it!
