Knee on ground on public road

[mark247]

You say he might kill a cyclist if he is getting his knee down doing a tight left corner right on the left side of the road. I have riden with Tom a fair few times, he gets his knee down when he is in the middle of his lane going around a corner, and hes not going too fast. I follow around the corner at the same speed but just dont put my knee down. What he is doing isnt dangerous at all. If he likes doing it good on him.

You guys are saying it as if he is going into the corner at the top speed possible trying to get the quickest line hense getting his knee down, its nothing like that.

Hey might be a bit of a fun day to go to Tepuke.
Have a look at Toms "style".
We might be witnessing the birth of a future champion.
We could all do it: 20 big Bikes, 50k, knees down.

Would make a hell of a shot for the photo comp! Give it a go

One of the things I've noticed about riders who regularly get their knee down on the road is that they assume that the road they rode yesterday is the same today. Knee down tends to limit your corrective action options.

Roundabouts are good for getting the knee down.

If they are near a gas station they are also a good place to find diesel being dropped all over the road from recently filled vans and trucks.

Actually I seem to recall that we've had reports on KB of such things causing upsets...

Tom Tom Tom,
Let an old fart with many years experience tell you a Secret.
Unless your leaned over and off the edge of the rear tyre and going like the clappers it looks a bit uncool sliding your arse off the seat and chucking your knee on the ground around the local roundabout down the road. You'd be the talk of the rest of the guys. If it flicks your switch keep doin it. But understand the reason why all the bikers are smiling when they meet you.

Let me set you a task. Go and take a pick of your rear tyre and post it. Then we will tell you if it qualifies as a knee slider machine. You can always tell alot by a riders rear tyre. And for fuck sake don't go out and tip it over for the sake of a pic.

It reminds me of a story. Was coming across the Waipuna bridge on the VTR into Pakuranga. Passed this guy on a new bike with new leathers etc. Just going normal pace, cutting through, tryin to get home. As i approached the next lights, turning left, I was in the right hand lane. He came up the inside of me, moved his butt way off to the left of the seat, stuck his knee down and when around the corner about 10k faster than me. Well fuck me i nearly laughed my head off. We where only doin 80k. We stopped at the next set of lights and he looked triumphantly over at me. I thought about taking off and lifting the front through a couple of gears so he could listen to the twin screeming its head off. BUT I just couldn't burst his bubble, so i followed him for a few meters and let the traffic get in the way. B4 I rode on. Ain't I just the most kindest guy.

well in answer to your task here is a pic dont mind the strip in the middle that was from a lot of commuting

and going back to my first ever statement i was just stateing that it is legal to get ur knee down if ur not endangering other ppl or speeding for whatever reason u want.. and when getting knee down there is still lots of room for error you dont have to ride on the edge all the time

Tell that to the mate who got done for reckless one day for getting his knee down and careless for falling off on diesel the next. In 1991.

its a name of a famous statesman in rome The first true flame warrior was the Roman statesman, Cicero, who wrote various insulting letters to other Romans in the provinces this was to a guy called Marc Antony
most of them went along the lines of this
Marce! Ede stercem meum et morere! (Marcus! Eat my shit and die!)
marc replied :Cicero! Noli dicere!!! Malum vir es et crassus! (Cicero! Don't say that! You are a bad man, and you're fat)

no idea who are these unfortunate ppl

[James Deuce]

Que? A mate of mine was done on two consecutive days. 1st Day: Reckless for getting his knee down on a roundabout. The very next day he was charged with Careless for falling off on diesel on a motorway on-ramp. Both convictions stuck.

Get it now?

You CAN get done for getting your knee down. I can't see you winning in court either.
