Default pics of you with your knee down...

...and how far you sit off of the bike.
My mate and I did a track day at Mallory Friday and first session out my mate got his knee down for the first time and did so the whole morning till rain stopped play at 1PM. Now I enter corners quicker than him and am as quick through them and gain on the exit so how come I feel like Im nowhere near the ground?
He sits off of his bike a bit and sticks his knee out wide too so any pics of how far you sit off to get your knee down too cheersI just sit where Im comfortable i guess LOL

Being a bit of a porker and loading up the suspension certainly helps



I wouldn`t say i lean off loads though,but i do hang the bike over a fair way

Getting your knee down doesn't make you any quicker' but it dose look good.. I can get my bike down so the pegs rub on the floor without getting my knee down

On the road maybe,not on track though.....it`s almost a neccessity

Oh and getting your pegs down will almost certainly end in tears...

As my mate found out at Oulton Park early this year on his brand new Gsxr 750.......he simultaneously ran out of talent and dug a peg in at the same time,Ł2380 worth of damage and one ego completely fooked
