Knee down gallery...

[Yorick]

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.

If corner speed didn't increase, I've no idea either.

I think it would just look odd on old bikes?

Isnt that a piss take modern photo?

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.

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

None here either, never learnt to do it, even on the ZXR.

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

All I’ve got is photos of photos ‘cus it was that long ago when I could actually ride a bike half properly.
( 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!!!
