Persoally I think that is a fair statement but if you want to do that take it to a race track, otherwise ditto to the two posts above

[moT]

any reason you want to if u want to do it to be a wanker go for it.

Why stop at a knee? An elbow or two would be far more impressive

Although i dont put my knee down, it is fun getting the pegs scraping around corners. I wouldnt do it when going 100kmh on the road but i do sometimes when turning right at round abouts etc. Its not "wank factor," its fun and not dangerous. Maybe its dangerous if you have no idea how to ride, but if you know what your bike can and cant do there is no reason why not to, if ya not speedin'.

The only thing I have that scrapes on the ground when I ride is my ego







and once or twice the whole bike and me

It depends what bike you're riding ... if it's a (let's pick a bike purely at random here) VFR400, which is only about 3.5" high in any case, then it's perfectly posible to get your knee down on some corners without exceeding the speed limit. However, try it on a bigger bike and you'll either a) come off, or b) get nicked for speeding when you look down and see you're doing 130 by mistake.

Sure, getting one's knee down is fun. I spent several track days trying before I finally got it. However, there's no way on earth I'm gonna do it on the road as I know what the consequences will be.

I'm with MSTRS: it's wank factor, pure and simple.
