Re: Knee sliders .. whats the point ?
you want some knee down track time? get to Three Sisters in Wigan. If you cant get a knee on the ground there then you really arent trying, its impossible to avoid.

Re: Knee sliders .. whats the point ?
I don't think so.
I have found getting knee down in about being comfortable when leaning off I have got photos of me doing knee-down and my chest is pretty close to the tank. I have tried moving my upper body away from the bike, but, it doesn't feel comfortable. Watch any BSB race and there is more than one way to lean off a bike |
