As you can see by my avatar the kneedown for me is the ultimate expression of control. Feels so good! I've done wheelies and a stoppie once but they never really flicked my switch. I actually prefer powere wheelies than forced wheelies. Burnouts are cool but expensive.

Can't see a great deal of point in a static burnout, except to impress kids, but I've grown quite partial to the rolling and rotating varieties. Got a duff 020 on my spare wheel which is getting murdered at some point

My everyday Roadtec doesn't often get treated like that though.

I'm no good at proper wheelies, or decent stoppies either, too cowardnly

With backing in and kneedown on the road, I've never seen anyone do it where they wouldn't be faster or safer just riding the bike normally. I get out of the saddle but I don't put a moment's thought into where my knee is, I'd sooner focus on my line and on forward observation. Got it down a few times to make sure I could though

Staying on..

And getting to your destination in one piece.

There have been too many obits on this forum already.

My favourite trick is knowing when I'm going to get pulled out on.

Don't know about "backing it in", but I was definately "backing it out" off of a roundabout yesterday

It started to spin up as I gassed it out but I was surprised how much control I still had as I went sideways down the road.

Wasn't intentional, but it was a nice feeling and it must of looked good. Seemed to last for ages but I bet it was just a couple of seconds really....

It's not oversteer mate, it's just snapping the cluthc out on down changes lol. Hardly skilled with so much engine braking available!

If you think it can lead to a sort of "oversteer" as you change the line that the bike is taking in a corner and take a tighter line though the corner on the sacrifice of tyres and speed.

When completing a successful gear change and continuing along my way,always fills me with a great sense of accomplishment.

Im only interested in any of that stuff if It helps me go faster.

It would be nice to be able to do a nice safe wheelie, but that's about it for me.

For those that are unsure of what I mean by ‘backing it in’, here follows some pics of ‘backing it in’ done properly!!

I am not sure these guys would say there is a little more to it than “.. just snapping the clutch out on down changes lol. Hardly skilled …”!!

I can’t seem to find a good pic of someone smoking the rear on the exit of a turn though … to show what I mean by that!

Anyone have a good one??

We don’t seem to have a clear winner yet, come on, keep ‘em coming
