Here is my way.

Go around corner fast, lean as much as possible , hit gravel bits, scrape Peg, Srape Knee, Scrape Schoulder, scrape fairings, scrape clutch lever. Then pick the bike up.

Lol keep us posted on how you go. I 'm now satisfied so i'm not trying to scrape stuff intentionally.

Nice post.

I think you may have identified one of the reasons you are not able to get that old knee down, that being the suspension. But I do wonder if your spelling etc may be part of the problem.

no track around new plymouth and yes 70kph turning off main road into waitara (100k zone into 50) up into the high school road. i do it every day and 70 is the fastest i get.

Hey Rossi, you're close to two tracks - Taupo and Manfield. Bring your bike before you hurt someone on that high school road.

do a wheelie bro.

**blue eyed savage** · 14th February 2008, 19:20

i see what u mean about my spelling (im a shoker, my bad)
high school is a long time finished by the time i get down that road. and i am very keen to get to a track its on my todo list. and the wheelie just not going to happen on my bike. and then theres the licence thing with that

The best place to learn is the track trust me

I know a guy who said he dont understand the knee down thing and he has been riding for a few years. After one session at taupo he was complaing cause of the lack of knee sliders
