Never on the street and don't plan to.

Tmall · 04-04-2009, 04:14 PM

To drag a knee in our "twisties", you'd probably have to exceed 100mph. I don't feel comfortabe trying that. Knowing my luck, I'd hit a deer, or some gravel.

I made pace with trip a couple years back without ever dragging a knee... i dragged most other parts of my bike, but not a knee. wouldnt advise it, but hell, at least i didnt crash... last time i took the rubber off the road i had a knee down in full force.

Never on the street but I plan to on the track one day.

When I'm riding in jeans....I like to save my skin (as much as I can in jeans I suppose).

Nope... never. Well not yet at least.

Same.

Maybe in a parkin lot, but I don't ever plan on dragging on public roads. FAR too many variables, far too much risk involved, even for the most talented & experienced of riders.

If you're on a knee there's virtually no possible way that you can avoid an unexpected hazzard that's in your immediate path while keeping it on two wheels & on the road.

That's a risk I'm personally not willing to take.

But put me on a track with other experienced racers & I'll have my knee on the ground with bikes just inches away on either side of me.
