My first kneedown pic. This was Portimao in 2010 on my CBR600F commuter. It proves the centre stand won't touch :lol:

My only time at Rockingham (2010) and memorable as after this picture I kind of high sided in front on Mrs Weeksy. I landed on the bike somehow head banging the screen, went across gravel and grass and then back on track in front of her. Sorry! Still feel quilty :crazy:

Brno 2015. This just makes me laugh due to the size of my GSXR1000K3's standard exhaust

Nope, CRUST is winning it ‘cause it’s Spa

Its impressive as its Spa and i almost went with you .......... but Rp1's is FULL commitment and just a superb picture so maybe the guy/girl who took it deserves a nod for making it look even better

Never met either of the blokes before so no personal bias

Agree Crust's pic is better, Spa, Eau Rouge, kneedown 👌🏻
Mines just at bloody Bedford :lol: , not really as iconic as Spa !
Also it's not really my normal riding style, over the years I have learnt that there are only 2 places to look good on track, pit straight and in front of the photographer :lol: , the rest you can just bimble around :thumbup:

LOL @the priest!

I hope no-one has been disappointed that I have not posted in this thread ;) However, the only time I've had a knee down, it was at about 30 mph. Unfortunately, I wasn't actually on the bike having just been ejected from it :(
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

Having two hip replacements means not enough movement for knee down action, so here's one were you would
