Hey Rastus, nice to see you in civvy street, enjoy the new ride mate.

Once upon a time in an Auckland far far away my mum got a ticket from the MoT rider that pulled us over for failing to keep left.
Gave her a lecture about impeding the lawful progress of other commuters.


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

I take a spare knee with me and drag it down the road, does that count?

You ask me, kneee down on the open road is a blind cock suckers way of keeping in touch with the tar seal.
Not a particularly good way either.
Go ahead OP, drop the knee in front of a patrol car/bike and see what happens, you of course already know what will! happen, so why bother with the question?

The nice road I won't say where, is 100km speed limit, every corner is 35/45 degree corners. So perfect, the knee down helps me corner quicker. This isn't done in streets like people are suggesting, it's country roads.

Indeed though i find it comforting compared to not.

funny lane splitting story,

I was lane splitting up the auckland motorway and came up on a police car, who i noticed was on his cellphone. As i passed him i knocked on his window and did the "hang up" hand signal. He gave me the sheepy-ist fuck you look i've ever seen, but hung up and surprisingly didn't pull me over and do me for anything he could.

England does have static speed camera though, I haven't seen to many around here.

Plenty of speed cameras in NZ dishing out fines, however you only get demerits/points on your license if you get busted by a cop with a pulse... so that's something.

Check out the Riders of Christchurch Facebook page. Plenty of posers on there.

A local photographer (motorcycle bloke too) sets a camera up on the road to the Hilltop. People go past and get their snaps taken.

Some go back, come by again and get their knee down for that genuine Valentino moment.

Problem is, they haven't got Valentinos tyres, Valentinos skill set or Valentinos carpet smooth track to ride on.

Honestly, public roads are no place for getting your knee down.

Re the legality of it (or not), the test of Careless Driving is whether the driving was up to the standard of a careful and prudent driver. Can't see many JPs having much sympathy for a knee dragger.

The next thing we'll see, a la Valentino, is a thread about getting your elbow down.

Go get a track day.

Sheesh. I'm all for a bit of fun, but really?

Nice style, on a track. Just a bit unnecessary on a public road.

You have to admit, that's not horrible form in that photo.
