  • ... Thats an overexaggerated lean....

  • 6000th view :D

  • 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.

  • Nice! How'd that go?

    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

  • haha

  • nice

  • 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.

  • post up ur vid or keep it to yourself chump

  • haha nice- I think I might do this too, just to get a feel for it.

  • You gave the squid the learn!!!

  • Nice work

  • ha thats a nice job showing the squid up... keep on riding

  • Great work! I will try ;)

  • you rock, j-doggg
