No mate knee down means nothing other than one thing.....

once you get your knee down you know how far to lean..... it give you so much confidence to go fast  :icon_thumleft:

knee down is not to go faster its to judge how far you are leant over and if you get into sticky situations push the bike up a bit....

I got alot faster and so did whiterabbit once we got our knee down  :icon_thumleft:

Its just to gauge lean angle. On the road getti ng your knee down on a normal corner will slow you down but on a track you will be faster. :icon_thumleft:

Do a trackday Daz.

hanging off the bike a bit more than a shift of your arse is a must though  :icon_thumright:

Daz don't listen to these idiots  :tongue3: Getting your knee down is vital !! I suggest you spend a good few sunday afternoons practising at your local round about. You may be going round mallory in 57/58 but at the end of the day if you don't look cool in the pictures then the whole day is a waste of money  :icon_thumright:
