How to get your knee down...

[Smiler]

Can I just say....

Watched the vid, and tho I have no intention of getting me knee down at all, ever..

Some of the stuff explained made a lot of sense, and in practice I've proved that today - having my baby over just that little bit more thru the twisties coming back from Exeter!

Thank you, whoever posted it! x

are you counter steering at all..

everybody counter steers, if you didnt you'd be ruuning straight on at every corner you went around at anything other than walking pace - its one thing that requires no thought whatsoever.

But if you are aware of it and what it is then you can push it a little further - thus pushing the bike over slightly more getting a tighter turn and the bike lower !

Yea countersteering, pegs scraping on the floor and being pushed up into my ankle. Crushing me
Will try at llandow, be much safer than the road.

if your pegs are pushing into your ankle than your feet could be in the wrong position, knee downs posible on most bikes if you have the confidence/stupidity to try it. i was doing it on saturday on a ccm r30 now thats fun !!

jason do you not find theres a difference between counter steering and actively counter sterring to corner quicker, some of my trck shots show it quite clearly but im not actively doing it myself,well not that im aware off

Well, I [Censored] binned it today trying.

So [censored] the lot of ya

Bandit was pretty beat up, nothing majorly wrong though, can is close to destroyed though, need some work to make better. Back is killing me now. Just lost back wheel for some reason

HUGE thanks to Varcon for sorting me out

i want to do it i really do, but not that much

and to be fair, just chucking it down the road is cheating, dont try to fob anyone off with an alternate story to your sliders hope your ok m8y, bike doesnt sound too bad

[deej]

dude theres no need to rush these things,some people take years and never get there some do it instantely personally it took me about 3 years

AH it wasnt that bad, just the can really that was destroyed, everything else was just scratches and dents really - cant totally see why you are so annoyed about the can though !

No worries about helping out, its what mates are there for !

I thik next time we shall pick the location more wisely

[deej]

did the rear tyre let go or did something touch down and lift the bandit off the road as its a bit lower to the ground than a sportsbike

[Varcon]

Na, he wasnt even that far down...he had only just started going round, wasnt even a thrid of the way around !

[dayz]

too low of a gear maybe? bit of a jumpy throttle? a bit of lean and cold tyres with a twitchy throttle isnt good id say thats how i bined mine over christmas ,but id prefer to say it was ice

[Cheese Monkey]

bump in the road/or maybe a bit of oil. Whatever it was, it was bad luck lol. Was in 2nd, for 15mph ish thats spot on.

[steve-d]

I got my knee down today.









Because I dropped it getting onto dartmouth lower ferry. [bar steward] metal strips on the slipway.

15mph would be 1st gear on track and probably way to low a speed to be getting your knee down with. most roundabouts are taken at least 50 to get your knee down when practicing as the speed keeps the load on the tyres
