Works well.... on a LIGHT bike on LOOSE surfaces. It's a little easier to shift your weight & add a little body english to keep the bike up off the ground. Try that on a sportbike & you won't like the results

knee out works well in point & shoot situations. Watching Jeff Wood battle Doug Henry before he was paralized was amazing.... Both would come into turn 3 at Loudon almost side-by-side....

Jeff would come in, back it in from 150 feet away from the Apex, put his knee down, round the corner & power out.

Doug would be foot out, also back it in from 150 feet out and could ALMOST out-break Jeff, nearly pull up along side him, point & shoot out.

Jeff would have slightly more mid-corner speed, Doug would have slightly more entry speed.



... Man what a friggin show... I hope & pray that Doug makes a full recovery & I can watch that again. A buddy of mine was in that race & they lapped him coming into that turn... one on one side of him, one on the other, both drifting sideways through the braking zone... My buddy soiled himself.
