KNEE DOWN !!!!!!

[deej]

the lanivet roundabouts are very gravelly but im sure will be quite good fun once clean

[Johnnyb]

Get out with the sweeping brush at 4am in the morning and try and explain that one to the police

[watters]

next thing to try is taking a right hand corner with your knee down while give the birdie with your left hand to your mates as they are beside you, great laugh

another thing i used to do but looking back on it now dont think i would do again is going round the mini painted on roundabouts in 1st gear with my knee on the deck and also doing u-turns in roads with knee on floor. great way of learning the limits of your bike but i wouldnt have been happy if i dropped it!!that was on the TL1000R,i recon id still be having a 'countryside lay down' if that thing fell on me

[dayz]

you guys will have to show me where this are, being cornish it sounds like a good place to to play

[deej]

ride up to fraddon,past mcdonalds over the brow and down the otherside,take the slip road head down the dual carriageway right at the roundabout follow the road for 2 miles then your at the local knee down point of st columb roundabout,go carefully though if its peak times

yer those 3 bends are awsome ! 90+ is a deffo lol ,, just had bike serviced today carbs ballanced new air filter n plugs and oil change so should be runnign sweet when i pick it up tomoz aswell as steering damper fitted

[deej]

where did you get it serviced ?
i know of a ace mechanic near us whos about to set up on his own and not charge stupid labour rates, theres also bike tech services in padstow where he'll lend you his gsxr750 courtesy bike for the day or even his vx200 courtesy car,now you dont get that service at the big boys

[dayz]

all those place names dont ring a bell, ill get a map, sounds like a lovely place to spend some time, maybe hook up with some of you guys when i venture up thaat way

[deej]

look up fraddon on the map and just look at the surrounding roads

[haynesvfr750]

got my bike serviced by a ex dammerls mechanic and was good because i could lend a hand too ! haha had a little spill the other day , quite gutting wen u wernt even being stupid getting knee down or riding like an idiot, just took a roundabout n frnt wheel slipped out , and the other annoying factor is i had just orderd crash bungs day b4 ! damage aint that bad just scrathes on fairing no broken fairing thank god !!

[dayz]

well on the eay up to plymouth from falmouth i kept an eye out for fraddon on the sign posts, and the turning off is sing posted around the mcdonalds, that turn off is like 20 minutes from falmouth at car speed

so where abouts are these roundabouts from said mcdonalds? anyone fancy meeting up there one evening?

[deej]

dayz what you need to do is pass the mcd's junction and continue up the hill and take the next turning then turn left and your on the run down to the first roundabout turn right at that one and the next one is st columb where the fun begins

h
were talking about the same guy then,top guy who certainly knows his stuff and it will be good to have a independent tech in st austell

[haynesvfr750]

yer top chap !! i gotta og and see him tomoz because wen i fell off the other day now my bike wont go into 3rd n will slip out of 4th into neutral !! so hopefully fixed tomoz extremely pi**ed off as im goin to france next week on a bike trip and now i gotta go wid scrathes on my bike actually couldnt belive it wen i hit the deck lol GGGGRRRRRRRRR

[Mike Hayward]

Nice one mate!

I'm still to get that low being a new rider in all lol! having said that i'm wearing textile trousers with no slider so prob best not to i guess? or can you get sliders for textile?

mike

[deej]

you can get velcro patches to sew onto your textiles and then add sliders
the downside to it is that the textiles are generally a looser fit trouser than leather so the patch will move around unlike leathers were you can guarantee it will be where you need it to be 99% of the time
