I was given a severe talking to for knee down antics by some of the lancashire mob a few years ago. I only went around the roundabout 4 times.

The further that the bike leans, the less contact patch you have between tyre and road. Hanging off the bike allows the bike to remain more upright in a corner, giving a larger contact patch and therefore better grip (I'm sure I read this in Bike). You could claim that it is an accepted technique for cornering on a motorcycle (show leathers with knee-sliders as evidence of this). Admit that it's not strictly necessary, but argue that it isn't actually dangerous, even if it does look as if it might be to the untrained eye. You might get away with it. |

Or you could say that you had just 'saved it on the knee' and were therefore a total hero. Nice of them to stop and congratulate you

Marko..Just goes to show then, that knee down antics are merely for people who take corners slowly. The rest of us are too busy gunning it through there!
