Knee down video.

Some video of some crazy, irresponsible loon getting his knee down. Ahem

Is that you?

It was me last summer when I still had my beloved Ninja. Still, this summer will be great too. And plenty more chances to use up some of that road tax we pay for.

And of course it was on a private test track (cough).

Getting your knee down is not illegal... Coppers can't do much about it. Just as long as you just going round and round and impeading the traffic.

Good lad Im yet to get my first knees down but cant wait to do it!

Well...they do see it as inproper control of machine. I never do it in traffic. Just not worth it. And I tend to keep away from roundabouts. Too much spilt diesel, manhole covers and traffic. This was done at about 6 in the morning on a one way road. I love that bend!

I have to say I found it more difficult on my k5 sv650s as it's a lot taller than the Ninja. But it's still perfectly doable although be careful of that front end wobble. And make sure you have sliders on before trying to do it otherwise you just won't be able to do it.

Make sure you don't get both knees down at the same time eh! That hurts.

not illegal but they can apparently do you for dangerous driving or some sort of something or other lol..

cant see the point myself, I'm not a racer, I dont need to gauge my proximity to the floor....

There is no real point on the road other than it's just a bit of fun. Nothing more, nothing less.

but you could argue that you are in proper control of your bike, after all you won't do it if you would loose control at any moment.
