desperately trying to FINALLY get my knee down today, I managed it ( ) and also had the right footpeg down. There was a HUUUGE skkrrrsshhh when I did it, much louder than i expected. Went to my mate's house to tell him the good news - he pointed out the scuff marks on my right-hand silencer and engine casing
I swear the scuffs weren't there before today. Did I really ground these out? Shouldn't I have crashed? Can I get my femurs made longer on the NHS?

I know, I've seen people get their knee down with a lot less lean, I think I'm hanging off wrong, I need to stick my knee out rather than down.Squiffythewombat wrote:mate, thats common, my cans are screwed and my RHS engine casing looks the same....i woudlnt worry about it as its common HOWEVER u dont need to lean that much to get ur knee down!

Try to get your head as close the the wingmirror when your leaning off the bike, it will help get the correct body postion. You shouldnt have to throw your knee out that far provided you have dropped your elbow correctly.blindmaninchains wrote:I know, I've seen people get their knee down with a lot less lean, I think I'm hanging off wrong, I need to stick my knee out rather than down.Squiffythewombat wrote:mate, thats common, my cans are screwed and my RHS engine casing looks the same....i woudlnt worry about it as its common HOWEVER u dont need to lean that much to get ur knee down!

Good save
That said, i got my elbow down at the phizer section on wednesday. Im running stock suspension (ive not changed it since i bought it) and BT014's. Its more about body postion than just tyres i feel?

It might be green, but then the Stobart VentAxia CBR1000RR Honda Fireblades have been that colour all season!!!!!!
Don't you watch the BSB championship?
As I guess you don't I'll point out that this pic is of Shane 'Shakey' Byrne.

Wasn't there a French bloke who used to get his elbow down in the late 80's? Not Christian Sarron (?), but someone of that era...
Someone help me - I'll never sleep until I get the name...
