It's hard not to when kneeling
Has it ever bothered you that Therapist is The Rapist if you break the word in two? It bothers me, especially when they suggest hypnosis.
there are some corners where u can get ur knee down and not speed remember u dont hve to ride to the recomended speed limit around corners and its a fun way of passing the time on a long trip
And you would want to, why? Wank factor?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
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![]()

For Christs' sake! its fun! Thats why!
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.
