    Now that I have tires that can really lean over really hard, I wonder how hard it would be to actually get my Knee down on the road without getting screwed up. On the street it really isn't easy because of poor roads and cars. I have some really cool track pants with pucks.:vtr2:

    This takes practice. Before trying this at speed, use both knees and one of those shemales you like. Some dudes here will want pix but most probably get the picture.

    This would be a great choice since your shemales have ATGATT.

    Knee usually hits the tarmac every time ya fall 'ova' ya' salty dafter pillock!!


    And TOE CUTTER had all 3 them gals--who are totally out of place on this forum-- he sez, on a hot Corona-soaked weekend by the river.

    If sow wants to post here, let him balance the puerile nonsense of teen-aged cuties with a photos of an RC30s in racing action from the 90's !!!

    If you're 6'6" its easy, if you're 5'4" you need bigger balls.

    Good luck if you're on the stock footpegs. The feelers touch down long before your knee would come close to the tarmac.

    I can get my knee about 6-8 inches from the ground in the mountains on full lean...but that remaining 6-8 inches is a HUGE difference. At least thats what those shemales told me.

    It really doesn't matter how you do it,get knee down, just let us know where you are going to do it. So we can all come watch your skills of riding. I'd even pay,little, to see this.

    I have no peg feelers, I broke them long ago. My R6 could could do it easy, but this beast is a lot harder. I suppose, a track day is req! I was thinking of getting another set of these q3's before the rebate is over-Q3's look like the perfect tire to get my Knee down with my track pants with sparking pucks. My r6 didn't have peg feelers either.:kev:

    I wouldn't trust shinko's to get my knee down, but I would with the Q3's. I guess its just too risky to get my knee down with so many idiots on the road, potholes and sand are another problem. I guess my next tire might be a pr4. Well back to the VFR drawing board. It does look like Randy is the King of Knee down, oh my mistake that was dropped bike .:eek:nthego:

    I've taken corners fast enough on the VFR to drag knees. Once, I had to really put my inside knee into the bike because if I had extended it, my jeans (and knee) would have been shredded. I didn't mean to take that particular curve that fast, but it happened.

    Isn't the goal to hang off as well as drag a knee? You're already closer to the ground. That said, I saw racers at SIR in the 90's that did neither. They were faster than alot of the guys with a knee down. It's funny to watch guys dragging a Knee on the street when their lean angle doesn't require it.

    One of the fastest guys I ever rode with hardly ever moved off his saddle. He undoubtedly had over 100K miles under his belt, plus multiple track days, advanced classes, etc. Even on his old BMW (can't remember what it was) you just couldn't keep up with this guy. Man, he was just smooth through the turns. I did manage to pass him once, though! :)

    And he had no fear at all in the rain.
