    Elbow down is the new knee down



    Found this video of some insane rider angles (and a few people who look like they fell off the side of their bikes haha)

    I've seen a local postie with a motorbike a couple of times very nearly get his pannier bags down. Very impressive lean on the ... um... CT90?

    Used to get the panniers down quite a bit, especially when they were full. I was on a CT110 in Aussie. Those were fun little bikes, and it didn't matter if you binned cos you don't have to pay for the repairs.

    Wouldn't have the stones to do something like that on a proper bike though.

    Meh, last time I did it, I had to replace my helmet, my leathers and the whole RH side of the bike. Not to mention my undies.
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    I got my helmet down once... it was on the second bounce before I flew up a bank and through a hedge

    I ride like a nana now

    Do it once, it's a fluke...

    Do it twice, you're lucky...

    Do it three or more times, that's mad skillz!
