He's obviously an experienced rider and is doing a great job at coaching her thus far. More work on body and head position and they will make a nice team.

They should take it to the fucking track. Track days are good fun... not ment for public roads, yeah??

And I'll stay off your lawn too.



I've ridden on a track before, was okay. Mad Sunday looks like a million times more fun though.

The only people in the world that still know how to hold a proper roadrace are the Northern Irish/Manx, which is sad.

All I know is that if you need to drag a knee puck on the asphalt, you need to take the shit to the track. Sorry for sounding like some stingy old fuck, but it bothers the shit outta me that people get on their bikes and push them to the point of no return (while others are using the same roads some riders are using as a track). No bueno.

Knee down is not anywhere near the point of no return... if you know what the fuck you are doing.

Bingo. No one has ANY argument against this. It is impossible. There are laws on the street such as speed limits and reckless driving. There are accidents all the time, all over the world and it is only because someone is doing something they are not supposed to be doing. And one of those things is dragging a knee.

Sure, you can do it and go to bed with a smile on your face with the thought of that great ride, but it don't always work out that way.

Everyone's skill level is different, one persons 80% may be someone elses 120%. Just saying... the key is staing within your own limits, and the limits of the road and conditions and ride smooth. Me, I try to ride to my 80% when road and conditions allow, leaves a good bit of buffer. Im faster than most, slower than many. FWIW I dont drag my knee, havent in a long time. I dont see the need personally, especially on the Strom. I hang off on the Hawk, but keep my knee tucked a little.

You yourself have condoned breaking the posted speed limit. Knee down is not a good indicator of how fast someone is riding or how hard they are pushing.

She looks good in form in more than one way. Much preferable to those cows on the back of "hogs", "doing the Dragon".
I'd hit it ..

There's a lot I like in this picture. First, he's riding an old tech Katana 600 or 750 yet appears to be riding a lot better than many riders I often see on much newer, more expensive, and "faster" bikes.

Second, he's got his priorities straight. He may not be on the greatest bike but both he and his passenger have proper riding gear. I'd bet that their riding gear is worth more than the bike

As for the knee down thing, he does not appear to be near his bikes limit, there is still plenty of lean angle left.

The only failure I see here is that I wasn't out there riding with them

What's with the one-finger clutch?

He was so excited, he used the wrong one for the killboy photographer

And her boots! We've called fail on other photos on this thread for hiking boots instead of riding boots!

How many times have you dragged knee's? Cause knee down still has plenty of stop, go and turn left. Let them get elbow down and you can start bitching about the point of no return.
