Getting a knee down is all body position and if you can turn your knee out moreso than lean angle.

Since I lift alot I can barely turn my leg out to a 30 degree angle. I can ride with one hand following people who drag knee in every corner, but I rarely do it.

No me, but thats ok. I still have lots of learning to do with curves but every trip i take I gain a bit of confidence.

Really don't want to push it on the streets though. : (

Can I? Yes. Do I? No. When we were at Indy, if I had pucks on I would have set a knee down on that highway interchange loop.

Why is this question being asked in Street?

i typically dont drop knee unless its an unusually spirited ride or im out east, other then that i really dont go fast enough to lean over that far...

There wasn't an option for me. I've gotten it down just once and it was on the track.

I don't come close on the street and don't care to as I'm in jeans... and there are too many other variables.

The track, if I do it again, OK if I don't. OK. I think part of the reason I did this one time is because my leathers are kind of big in the legs and they just hung down far enough. LOL.

I ride more like my husband - neither one of us move very much on the bike though I probably should since I'm nearly half his size.
