    If you don't want to take your road bike on the track, check out the bucket racing. Almost unlimited knee down practice opportunities available there. Plus the chance to learn a lot of other riding skills as well.
    + 1 on the bucket racing, Mt Welly next weekend, you can borrow one of Johns bikes and get yer knee down.....I tried and was followed by my arse and the bike.
    Went on the Whitford/Kaiaua road a couple off weeks back....had a couple of moments with green stuff on the road...and almost brown stuff.....
    I take my old Beemer around Puke and HD but the heads touch before my knee....
    Hey Malcy 25....post up your recent knee down pics...
