How often do you get your kneedown?? (on the road only).

Dan is the KD *****!

I saw it in my mirrors..

Every time i'm out as long as i'm wearing my leathers, its dry, and i'm certain of the corner and its surface, very addictive stuff.

Virgin here, looking for the right conditions.

Never KD'd, but I'm sure i lean it far enough. Don't have sliders anyway so best not grind my kneecaps, eh!

I think my riding style is more 'sling the bike around and weight the pegs' rather than 'hang off like a monkey' anyway.

I think my attitude has changed … when I used to predominately ride for pleasure, after I first was able to do it, I felt no ride was complete without getting my KD at least once … I also felt I hadn’t ridden a new bike until I had KD on it – even my old classic bikes/nails!!

KD is/was kool

But I just don’t care now … I hang off the bike like a gibbon if I am riding like a ****, but that’s just my natural stance when I am - doing my thang - , like I said, I can’t remember when I last KD’d …

I did it but I got both knees down, think they called it an off after I attempted it tho LOL.

I am not bothered, sure one day I will manage it, gotta get the cornering sorted first tho LOL.

I do it some of the time when i really am pushing, seems to comfort me more than not hanging off at speed. I feel smoother when i do it too, and apparently it looks pretty good. Sometimes the knee doesnt touch the ground but i still sometimes ride with it out

For example North Wales rideout 2 - Got lost found a road i was going up and down and scraped my knees and leathers a bit cos i was gettin stressed and trying to go quick!

Every single day my right knee touches the floor




























while im kneeling down unchaining my bike

I totally agree NW

I was equating motorcycle racing to horse racing last night to hubby (yes he glazed over too) - both a totally different ball game from their fellow disciplines - in my experience motorcyling purely for pleasure is a bit like the pleasure gained from dressage or hacking on a horse - purely for the enjoyment of improving control or enjoying the outdoors - as opposed to racing where you just wanna be faster than everyone else - afraid that doesnt float my boat - I get more pleasure from just improving/enjoying the ride (ooeerr!)

hope that makes some sense (when do I ever )Ive got a cold and feel rotten

I'm a virgin and I'm scared!!
