I forced it a few years ago and since the first time KD, I ride faster.

IMHO I find that it's the confidence to corner faster knowing that you can go KD if you want makes you ride faster.

I did the carpark thing to get my left KD as there aren't that many good lefts in central London!!
Try figures of 8's!!!

Yeah but doing it round mini roundabouts is funny. Specially with pegs sparking.

Not so funny when your peg digs in and you fall off. Happened to a mate on a shiny new gixxer. My how we all laughed, he was only doing about 10mph!

This happened to me at Silverstone a few weeks ago. Went round the outside of someone in club corner, passed him quicker than expected so I tightened my line to move towards the inside of the corner. Peg dug in and kicked the back up. When it landed, the bike flicked upright almost high-siding me. I sort of hung on, landing over the tank at which point the bars start slapping. Never sh!t myself more in my life. Didn't crash though

The guy I had just past would have had a front row seat!

Yeah but I'm only grazing the pegs, not smashing the floor with them. (touch wood)

Did hit a drain on one though and had a little tankslapper. My mates laughed too.

Bad quality and length, but I don't want you thinking I'm lying.

Give it a few minutes man!

Lie? Moi?

Hehe I see it, good stuff!! I have to say, at the speed you are doing it it is probably a lot harder than higher speed, yours is more like stunt riding!

Not bad, now you need some sparky sliders and a nice long corner!

Ahem.........(shameless plug yet again of my vid!)
