Won't go much lower, front end slid a little bit after those pics. Have nothing left on edge of front or rear tyres.

i find the left hand side easier than the right, and yes i'm right handed.

yo jamz i got fecked on the clover leaf on the one when ur coming down hill to go under the bridge , i got hit before coming onto the straight , my right foot was stuck in the nissan 200 zx / sx ? - so i was connected to the car and the cars tyre was just burning through my boot , i dunno how my foot came out without being pulled off , but i reckon my foot must of gone all way round then got ran over, cause the car went right and my bike went left so i basically tumbled almost the entire underneagh of the bridge , smashed my foot up proper , still hurts to this day in winter , like i say one of the reasons on must bends ( ask masters ) i just hold off , i have got one big mental barrier on the roads now , well guess it is a good thing , keeps me slow , Rob

You need to hang off a bit more, keep the bike a little bit more upright and move your weight to the inside. For more ground clearance you could twiddle the height adjuster 5mm if it's still a problem

Yeah, you can hang off more than that! stick your knee out further too! It's gona feel like you're dislocating your hip unil you get used to it!
I don't like the way that Rover looks like it's about to understeer into you!

Sod's law says, when I try stuff with a camera waiting to take a picture, I come off.

Guaranteed.

Like "Hey yeah, take pics and vids of me stoppying my KMX!!"

Oofyah, as they say in the Beano.

Quick question for you all while you're all chatting about knee down antics then...

At what point do you think it's too cold to get your knee down? I personallly haven't risked it in weather like this as all of my mates on bikes reckon it's too cold to keep any heat in the tyres for antics like that?

Although I always thought to myself the racers do it all year round even in the rain
