Re: No handed kneedown, is it possible?
 

I would have thought it was probably impossible or at least it would be for such a short period of time before you'd have to grab the bar again to make it pointless.

I have gotten my knee down with one hand which is quit easy and i'm no rossi. But bikes need rider input to get round a bend, in particular counter steering, and as you can see if you watch bike racing when there is no ride input (i.e. when someone comes off) a bikes natural tendendcy is to sit up right and carry on in a straight line therefore if you have no hands on the handlebars you would have to choices:

Lean so far off the bike to make the bike lean over that you risk crashing

or take you hands off the bars and enjoy the millisecond of no-hands kneedown before the bike sits upright.

Lol, not me, just a pic I found.

Not quite - you only need the right amount of throttle to balance the lean & the turning circle. Less & you fall inwards, more & you do the other thing. Counter steering only initiates the turn and is only used again to alter it.

Re: No handed kneedown, is it possible?
 

yeah but how would you get the right amount of throttle with no hands on the bars??

Re: No handed kneedown, is it possible?
 

I suppose you could start practising this first?

Re: No handed kneedown, is it possible?
 

As pointed out a friction throttle may be required, or a slowing corner, interesting.

i am sure it's possible, wouldn't like to try though, ask dave preston. :D
