First Road Knee Down, When,Where and what Bike?
 

Mine was 1998, Yamaha Thundercat,out in deepest darkest surrey somewhere, near Boxhill...

Mate who owned a Blade took me out to this most perfect of roundabouts and thats where the cherry was popped...

Ahhhh!!! You never forget the first time..:D

never done it on the road
so Never, nowhere and no bike

I have never got my knee down on the road Van-never really tried either-on the track is a different matter. I could never get my knee down on my old 900SS, the 996 was easy peasy, the ST4S you have to try quite hard, the TZ was just a case of going faster and faster until you were on the other side of ridiculous and then the knee goes down-massive corner speed by then too.

On a roundabout near my local Tescos. Didn't realise I was doing it at the time (oops!), I just noticed the scuffs on my slider afterwards. On my 999S. It was in, um, 2003. Doesn't happen for me very often on the road.

Off my 250 Superdream in 1979...........unintentionally:o

unfortunately, then my elbow, my ass & then shoulder followed & the bike was a write off:ninja:

PMSL!!!

For me it was july this year on my 02 748 on my way to the Bassets Pole the round about just after the with the police station on!:rolleyes:

Bugger, was just about to post the same only 1972 on Suzuki GT250!!!!

Never had my knee down on the road, hardly even on track either for that matter.

On my ST2 at what I think they call 'Netty's Nook' corner at Rockingham's National circuit (it's the tight right hander at the back of the circuit, just after you come round a very fast and bumpy right hand sweeper, along a short straight then into said corner and up the hill towards the Marshall's hut).

Knee dabbed down on the kerbing at the apex. I was so surprised that it was a case of "what the feck..." and I promptly sat the bike up again before I realised what it was.

It was such a grin afterwards that I tried it again the next lap and managed to get my knee down again...only this time followed by my ass, my elbow etc...

Only get the occasional snick of slider on the road, once or twice a year...can't drag my knee all the way through like some folks

First time was on a private trackday, and then on the way home at every corner possible!!

And now almost every day i take the little Monster out! Doing it on the road is fun!

Corners and roundabouts, even managed to grind the sliders in the wet (I didnt mean too, but it saved me binning it!!)

Showboating on track days is the best! With a 600 monster im not really out for lap records!
