In TN, you can get a knee down while ripping around a right hander dodging a giant water buffalo gathering her mail while sporting a fetching purple moo moo.

Mmmmmmm. Tennessee.

either one if there are any takers... but was refering to osp

yeah that was a scary ride, i dont know what scared me more, the two christmas hams she was hidding in her moomoo or the tiny dog that was behind her that looked like it would be slippery at 50mph...

Trip,

the knee down thing is what you were doing when the cop went by....

Every chance I get. Which isn't very fucking often in FL.

Track yes, but certainly not every turn. I see a lot of people that are so focused on touching down their puck that they'll take stupid lines and lose corner speed.

Street no. I know it's been damn close about 1000x over, but no street scuffs. I also don't stick my leg way out in my turns on the road - I don't like the idea of being way out there when suddenly there's gravel on the road.

Coulda swore I took that in GA!

Personally I drag my knee on the track but not on the street. Not that I see anything wrong with it. I just don't ride that hard on the street. I had one serious accident, and that was plenty.

I've tried and tried, but damn I can't get my knee down on my VTX

I got a friends '96 ZX-7R running for him a couple summers ago and out on a test ride I noticed my knee was uncomfortably close to the asphalt since I was just in jeans doing a lap around the "block" (I live in the country, 4 mile "block"). I'll wait till I get an FZ1 before I bother to try.
