I read lots of bike mags,as do most of you guys/gals.......the biggest thing I have read is NOT to force your knee out to touch...IF your body position is good then knee down will happen at 30 mph....Without the correct position you are wasting your time or heading for a fall!!! Good idea to be followed by a knee down god to assess where you are going wrong. If you are already toe down then your body position must be wrong???

I don't force me knee out it just happens

How I was "taught" as such which may be completely wrong but works for me

3rd gear, go faster and it will come... I think I had the position but not the speed back in the day

its not wrong mate... but not very confidence inspirering..... and remember we ride tens not 6's 2nd gear is fine

Really?

Personally on a litre bike I'd be even more prone to use 3rd than on a 600

I will let you have a go on mine kev.... I will let you make you own assumptions.... second gear is fine third gear and you are going to be going some rapid rate of knots

remember 105 mph first gear

ah this is very true mine is not and is quite comfy going round bends in second......

my first 2 sessions I was going round the outside of people on gerrards in second.... weren't until I was being called a pussy for braking to early that I started doing it in third.... by then I was going quicker
