The guy that was trying to help me said (to quote) " hang of like a monkey!" so I did .... and it worked

It's all about confidence aswell. I was unsure of if my front end would stick, as I have been having problems with it (in my mind anyway) so he had a go and was knee down straight away and said the fornt was fine. Just don't push too hard. The 400 is a great bike for knee down!!

The bloke rides a 1098 on track btw

Wish i could get rid of my chicken strips , but haveing said that, if i can get me knee down and not use all the tyre, then i'm keeping it on the fatter part so therefore have more grip , or is this me just not wanting to admit to being a pussy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are a little cat putting it nicely.

The wife always comments why I need to get my knee down as I'm not on a race track. I always tell her I have to get the tyre scrubbed in all the way to the edge just incase I need it in a emergency!!

LOL, i used to tell the X a similar thing, new tyres need a 100 miles+ on the first ride and need scrubbing to the edges!!!!!!!!!

I was a bit jealous of your knee down action as it's been a couple of months for me now! Went out last night to give it a blast.

Unfortunately my tleather trousers are too tight for me (i usually where one piece but i ruined that) anyway after a good ride and some heat in the tyres i ended up sooo close to touching down on a roundabout, but got cramp in my left leg due to said trousers had to move my leg and nearly washed out the front end :wanker

Think its time to clean those trousers then search for some larger ones lol

Jeppo - That's the most long winded excuse for not getting a knee down I've ever heard!

My knee sliders are as shiny as the day I bought them. I need to find somewhere safe to practise.

My excuse for not working on getting a knee down and scraping the ol' sliders... is that I don't have any sliders, and I like my knees.

About an inch of gaffer tape should do it Just get's hard to stand up straight when you get off the bike!!
