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.

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. |

 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.

But you can lean like a SOB on a VTX. I had a kid on a 636 mention at a gas stop during a weekend ride that he didn't thing cruisers riders could lean out until he saw me ride.

Which reminds me, X is still in VT. If she doesn't sell by mid-May, then I won't sell her, you wanna watch her Rae? And I'm not that good, I just can't push her too much further without doing a lot of damage.
