    That would be much more impressive if the pillion had a knee down.

    And no knees were touched in the making of that epic moment !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    I have done it on Woodcocks rd before on the really twisty and really well sealed corners on my old GSX, since then haven't really found the need for it, if your aiming to get your knee down on the road you are going to fast for the road and that can be dicey. Roundabouts are damn good though, the ones in albany are perfect for it and mostly there is a lack of traffic.
    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.

    Oh and my final word of advice on this matter is when getting the knee down.........avoid the catseye's DAMHIK.

    Watch out for diesel or any other substance as you'll be on your ass before you know it.

    The only obsession required should be the desire to ride your bike when ever you can.

    None at all to myself amazingly enough considering the off happened in the sweeper at the start of the main straight at some 100km/hr+. I was somewhat pained that evening though...

    The bike was pretty OK too - stanchions were a little out of whack and a few levers were bent but I still managed to ride it home after the meet.
