What is this obsession with knee-dragging? I know it's very trendy right now, but it really has little to do with really fast cornering, just with how much you are prepared to hang off the inside, and don't confuse the two. To me at least, the height of silliness is a pic of a guy contorting himself, ludicrously over-styling , to get his knee down, and the (lowish) pegs on his bike aren't anywhere near down! :roll: Yes, I know about weight transfer and the necessity for it when riding genuinely fast , but most dedicated knee draggers just ain't . If you ever get the chance so see someone genuinely fast AND smooth (certainly not me :) )the weight transfer is no more than necessary. Beautiful to watch. You know that this knee dragging stuff was started in the late 70's by a guy doing circles in a carpark on a suzuki X7?
Ride smooth, like the Crazy Frog :P
