Sure you could get a feeler guage in there but he would have got it down in that corner for sure somewhere and I like the photo. 8)

I never thought I would ever get a knee down but once I did i was addicted :twisted:

Invest in a track day mate, the road's not a good place to learn the turning-tarmac-touch! Start by putting the ball of your foot on the peg coming into the turn and getting more and more comfortable moving off the bike - and look way through the turn too.

Yeah probably didn't have it down, I tend to touch the lift back up straight away. Despite the fact i find your going slower dragging it along on the deck it was costing me a fortune in sliders :/

You could get your knee down on that little thing with it upright. :lol:


At least I can bend my knees enough to ride it :P :lol:

When I went looking for pics I found some of me riding at a track day many, many years ago. Not much different to your pic I dont reckon, it reminds you that everyone starts somewhere. Maybe a thread of pics before and current??

Anyway just take your own time and invest in schools, track days etc. You may not touch down but you will become a better rider for it and that is the main aim. If you wanna go faster at the track then you will crash, but thats part of the fun ..... kinda :shock:

Yep I just use it as a bit of a gauge too, you could cook a set of knee sliders in a day and realistically for not much reason...
