Knee down, big tits and more...

I drag my knee whenever i find the right piece of road, WHY!!!!!!, Cause its great fun, i get a great buzz, but thats just what it does for me. We all ride cause we enjoy bikes, just in different ways.

Well done KF

Oh fuck No! Not on the calender then Skid will really think he's famous!!

OK so Hide this from Skid so it doesn't blow his mindset as I've never seen the knee down thing from him and It'd be a laugh I reckon.

Knee down is old school, old fashioned and oooohhh so last decade. Past it, gone, finished, over!!!

Knee down was invented for keeping the bike upright but changing the center of gravity because pegs, engine casings etc would scrap like fuck. Look at the pegs on any post classic z900. Pegs are worn halfway through, casings are cut and rewelded on a 45° at the bottom etc. Tyres harder and less wrap around. That's a knee down bike. You had to keep it upright to stop it grinding itself to bits so you hung off the side.

Modern bikes have higher pegs, lower center of gravity and far far better tyres. If you look hard, the modern Moto GP rider is putting the shoulder in and not moving is arse much at all. The only reason the knee is close to the deck is because the lean angle is so much more these days.

Check the center pic out on Speight Buds footer, on the previous page, classic example.

oh and I better mention tits!! Pic 3, girl on girl, oh my, very nice!!!

I havnt done much road riding but when i have the only reason i have put my knee down is for shits and giggles, i just done a hillclimb event on a public road and as its sorta my safty net i was dragging my knee but i had a mate that was faster and he never put his knee down.... I think it comes down to peoples diff styles but i would say on the road theres not much point untill you get to the pub and look at eash others tyres, knee sliders etc etc lol

That's better, keep it on topic folks...

Yeah that's a nice pic... not quite the big tits that the title demands, but I figured since there are more of them, and they've both got their knee(s) down, it would make up for the lacking...

Oh, and just so this post isn't a total waste of space....

haha it took less than 10 replies for skidmark to show up, hilarious! i've put my knee down once, once my knee hit tarmac it shat me up so much i almost lost the bike. since then i find it easier to just lean off the bike a bit. did a run today that i used to ride alot, and shaved heaps off the amount of time because i leaned off the bike. (and this is on a 99 TL1000S...haha! it friggin chatters out of the corners if i DON'T..)
watched a guy on a late model gsxr600 putting his knee down the other day..sparky titanium knee sliders and all. i was like, 'cool!' and my mate just said 'what a wank. that guys making too much effort just for a few peopl to notice'..so yeh. bystanders don't care.
but hey..i'm all about looking cool on the bike. which is why i've never (and will never) own a zxr250 or a harley..

-good point, actually..i was watching the motogp yesterday and none of the riders actually lean out and put their knee down. the knee sliders are there cos they're leaned over so damn far their knee touches the ground. SHIT, MAN! thats some HUGE lean angle.

Personally, I'd rather follow a guy who knows what he's doing, with his knee on the deck, than follow a guy who's dragging pegs with no margin for error...

By the time you get to that stage, it's a wanking contest anyway... Chicken strips VS knee down....

I just read this entire thread. Was good for a noob like myself who really has no clue.

Mr skiddy bum sounds like a bit of a twit and i must put myself in group of people who get REALLY fucked off by people pretending to know what they are talking about when they really dont. I have no idea whats right or wrong when it comes to bikes but with cars I see it everywhere- bad advice is abundant.

Pretty gutted that all the pics of tits have been removed. would have been SO keen.
