Its funny you say that, cos once I got into a swing of it, I was able to use it on bends i know well, comes naturally (well it did).

I did? I did yesterday... Got some serious lean on!

I only ever got my knee down once , in the early 90`s . It hurt like hell as I was wearing tracky bottoms at the time ....... never done it again and don`t see the need for it on the road either . Congrats on ticking this off your list though

Well done, young Conrad

I'm a stumpy (28") legged 5' 8", and I find it relatively easy to do now, even on jacked up ZX10Rs with rearsets. You just have to hang off more and twist a bit. Body position is all important.

Ha ha. Aye. I just dont do it... Maybe one day ill get some knee sliders and have a crack at it, I should be able to do it... I can get rid of the strips so I presume lean angle isnt an issue.

You haven't come off have you mate?

Damnit, hanging off the bike, twisting in various fashions and knee down has given me sex legs! Felt like a proper good workout. Cheaper than gym, too.

P.s. You love your fanny bands don't you Always talking about them

Last time I got KD on the SV it just felt like I was falling off as my toe was in the wrong place, pegs were down and juddering off the ripples in the tarmac. And I was going about 20mph slower than normal...



Still fun though
