I have same problem! just do not feel safe and comfortable with knee down on road (have no idea what is round corner!), also do not need to get knee down to keep up.

I agree with horse there is no need for need down on the road..... if you are riding fast then keep it off the ground..... but if you have somewhere local like I have that it purely for the knee down buzz then crack on get it out of your system then crack on with the smooth road riding....

seriously though saf ..... Si has got his knee down now.... done it on the circuit... some one of your riding Jediness will piss it  :icon_thumleft:

I agree 100% but coz it's there, I want to do it - just to show off.... I know I'll follow people who've got their knee down and I'll be going through those corners with or faster than them but my riding style technique is different to theirs. I find when I do try I end up going slower and feeling unstable.

Sounds good but I'm working tomorrow and Sunday - I'll give you a shout tomorrow afternoon when I finish and see what you boys are up to. At the least, I can pop round for a brew.  :dontknow:
