So who's got their knee down?

[magnum]

For myself its just a neat feeling, part of being so close to the road at speed, bike cranked over and a part of your body dragging. I'm only 172cm tall so to scrape the knee I need to be fair cranked over, hence why its not a regular occurance on the road. Really couldn't give a flying fuck if someone thought I was cool or not, or a poser for wearing virgin knee sliders. There is only a few people in this world that have an opinion that I'll take to heart. As long as I'm happy with what I do.

Does being in the pillion seat of a cage when you "do it" count?

Hmmm... I see that is not an option in the poll. How silly!

What do the soles of your boots look like though?

They tell me the kickstand on the gsx1100G is the first thing to catch the tarmac and does gnarley things to the handling so being thje relative novice that I am I have no intention of attempting it. Leather clad knee procludes it too!

I just wouldn't go judging a rider because there's no scratch marks on their sliders. The late Dave Jefferies admitting to never getting his knee down on the road (quote recent PB mag) although he wore sliders, and as they said can't imagine too many people going past him.

Fair dinkum it was said in jest anyway

I was bought a Playboy t-shirt which I wear (under another top) from time to time, but it's not as if some gorgeous, sex crazed model is gonna want to bump uglies with me!

Yea I know eh man.

Do you stick your foot out or down when going around a bend when there is chance of sliding? I was trying this method and found it a pain in the ass. I prefered to just keep my feet in and just control my slides like I would on a sportsbike. I was talking Death and F/F who have both raced in the dirt before and they don't see any reason for putting your foot down around a corner other than to gain more corner clearance by getting it out of the way (for MX racing).

On Saturday when I rode my bro's dirt bike (XR600) on SH22, I was just having real nice and tiny front end slides and a few quite exciting rear wheel slides but I didn't see how my foot down would help (going about 120 i think).
