Over the past number of years I have never been able to get my knee down, I am only 5 foot 8 with a 29" inside leg so I have to hang off fearther and lean over more than most, I have never failed to work the tyre edge to edge.

Today took the wife down with me to some deserted round'abouts, she is so crap with a camera but hear are my pic's and a couple of vid's. The bike sounds soooo nice though.

Dont worry about hijack this one, I realy am so chuffed, just wish some of the pics had come out better or the wife had done the vids for longer. The bike sounds soooo nice though, even better to listern to when not on the bike.

Going to look for a cheap mini DV camcorder so I can do a few vids, ebay hear we come......
 
fun init?, just dont run off the front tyre edge like I did !!, no... I didnt save it with my knee either, tho I tried. You do have to hang off like a gibbon on the mille, and theres so much clearance you can really hoik it over.
Ck

Cheers,


Ritch

lol i did that on my RS50, thats the penalty you pay for riding in jeans and wanting to keep your kneecap attached, no kneedown action for me just taking corners and roundabouts as stupidly fast as capable, i magically saved from going down (prob cus it weighs about as much as my helmet), scraped the footpeg good to, and then sat bolt upright and nearly went right into metal railings :eek: funniest thing is i took that roundabout many times lots faster than that i just dont lean over as crazily :dunno wish i could corner so fast on the mille though, but its just so heavy :angry guess i can still try
