No one, who has managed to get their knee down would go back to being someone who hasn't got their knee down, if asked.

Its a right of passage.

Those who can.. will.. those who cant, either dont want to, or are trying !

Blew the cobwebs off the bike today just glad no police on my roads today !

for some reason i just don't stick my knees out when I'm leaning over

where your ass is on the seat is more important than where your knee is if you want to learn.

I've had the pegs scraping, but I'm either leaning right over, or hanging off the bike - not both! I'm keeping a look out for a quiet roundabout the buses don't lay diesel all over

I know of a roundabout you can try, it can get busy.. its on the A465.. so it can get very busy ! but its a mahoosive roundabout, not entirely a circle... average knee down speed is 45 ish mph... Ive found some roundabouts where 30 mph is too fast....

its one of those things.. you try and try to get your knee down thinking you cant lean the bike over any further, once you do get your knee down, you realise just how much more lean you have to play with on top !

Try these roundabouts @ point a,b,c make sure there is no traffic about.

You should be getting KD way before scraping a peg or getting to the edge of your rear tyre for that matter. Sure you weren't scraping a toe slider?

Awesome, I'll give them a whirl
I snapped my rear brake lever off, so def scraping the pegs That was on the D220s which everyone gives such a bad rep.
