I definitely agree w/ you that you CAN drag a knee safely on city roads, without exceeding the speed limit. Depending on the degree of the turn, you can drag a knee at no more than the posted speed limit. Of course it is reckless to drag a knee on some turns where clearly you have to be going faster than the speed limit. But traffic round abouts and parking lots are great to learn. Nice vid!!
Hey cool vid, thx for sharing! I recently picked up a Ducati 999 and it hasnt been an easy bike to figure out.. I am going to try the slower speed circles like you are demonstrating and see if I can get more comfortable leanin the thing over.. Crazy question, but did you try doing it in the other direction?
@lagunaruna i just tried this today and I must say that it's hard to do in the counter-clockwise direction because throttle control felt weird with my right hand down at slower speeds.
@se7en154 - This is exactly why I did it this direction. It was tricky enough with all the sand/gravel, but to have my wrist at an awkward angle on the throttle would've made it harder. FWIW - this is in Santa Barbara - hence the sand.
you can totally drag at street safe speed, it just depends on the corner your dragging on, a really tight one, oh yea, now a mild one, you might have to step up the speed.
I'll be practicing in a parking lot today, with permission from the security supervisor, so no worry about the police state. Feels just like a raceday, at 10 mph.
I've setup cones and stuff in large parking lots. I practiced tight turns and aggressive braking. It almost always fun... except when security gets all bent out of shape
I saw a vid of someone doing this on a 600rr and tried myself. It's a great way to get really close knee down photos. You can just whizz around in circles with someone stood in the middle with a camera.
You should stick at it more with slightly bigger circles, you can keep going for minutes at a time then. Until your legs start aching!
lol, he isn't so grat. Man, you move your ass too much. You dont turn your shoulders in the curve way. You looks like you want to get out of the bike still rideing.
... Thats an overexaggerated lean....
