My boot sliders take a constant scraping on my fav roundabouts but have never reached that Holy Grail of a knee down moment.
I think I shall be out this weekend with my leathers and a volunteer with a video camera. I'll post the result next week folks.
Start the Ambulance!!!!!!!!!

My chicken strips are about 1cm wide (close to the little 2CT letters on the Pilot Sport 2's) so I think I have enough Lean angle to get my knee down, but body position is probably wrong. Just need a bit more confidence I think.

give me a mini moto and I’ll drag my butt

Jesus H C they are proper nutters! The clip with the Beemer drifting on the roundabout is pretty special as well. They must have the lifespan of a gay nymphomaniac in Nigeria.
