Re: Knee down gallery...
I'm on a few old racing groups on Facebook and this just came up from Elvington, many moons ago. They (we) did lean the bikes a bit, on crap tyres and knee was nowhere near. No idea why or when things changed.

Re: Knee down gallery...
I think it was in Bike. Even then, probably 20 years ago.
Someone mentioned Fast Bikes favourite roundabout. They did a photo shoot there with a copper on an R80RT. His nickname was 'scuff', he'd worn a hole in his police issue leathers.

None here either, never learnt to do it, even on the ZXR.Horse wrote: Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:49 pm LOL @the priest!
I hope no-one has been disappointed that I have not posted in this threadHowever, 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

Brave man, peg down on a Vincent will lift the rear, if the peg doesn't snap. iirc they're solid.

( like most contributors on here I suspect
)Anyway, opposite ends of the handling spectrum, from the sublime TZ 250 to the ‘interesting’ Aprillia Falco sports tourer on stock, crap, Sachs suspension!!!
