    Elbow down

    I got a new second hand front slick for my bucket and it is UNREAL how fast I have been able to corner on it. I am so impressed with how much of a difference it makes to have some good rubber on the bike!!! Anyway I went out for a bit of a piss around to see how low I could get the bike to go... I got my first elbow down! Of course the style was exagerated to get it down. This is how it went:

    Hmmm. Does elbow and knee down really count when the bike's not really leaned over that far?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    You are dead right! I didn't want to annoy the neighbourhood so I was only there for a very short time, and also my bucket is quieter than a lawnmower!

    I had the peg scraping and I have no more chicken strips. Does it go further?

    Very flexible.

    I just wish I could touch my toes with my finger tips from a standing position.
