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!

Both knees on a local roudabout on the 916, trouble is it was both knees at the same time

[keefer]

on the 748SP
on a road not to far from home
two roundabouts connected by a nice bit of link road
its like a little brands hatch ( apart from the odd car waiting to get on)
do it there most summers just to get in the grove

[Mr C]

Never done it on Road or Track
