Loving their little Zen biker at the top of the first page.

Not loving the hard to read font. (Or is that just my computer?)

:slap: Or the crap user of the computer that didn't think to use the "increase font" button.

I'm sure its full of useful tips and info - but FAR too small and difficult to read with my old eyes......

**Coyote** · 10th May 2006, 18:57

Far too long for my attention span

Very interesting. But it needs more equations. Still reckon it's posing , but, Hailwood never bothered, nor did Ago. Or Frith or Woods.

Why not just bend down and put your knee down on the ground, what are you a cripple?

Far from it, (posing) when on the track I go into a corner with the tyres right on the limit of traction, everything feels a little loose and hairy, once the knee is down it has the effect of locking everything in place, a little like a out-rigger on a canoe. It has a stabilizing effect. When I'm really on it I also lever the bike off my knee to get it on to a fatter part of the tyre to gain more traction. I've also saved the frount end propping the bike up off my knee as well.

I'm sure the reason the racing greats of old did not do it, is they simply never thought to.

On the road, I have a totally different style and hardly ever scrape my knee, unless I need to itch it or somthing.
