@@pmacc3557 naah. she didn’t. Stopped scraping the knee puck a while back since i am more prone to do it on the streets than on a race track. Better stop before something really bad happens. Ride an adv scooter now than sportbike. But mrs keep bugging me to sell the race suit. 😂
Good explanation, only thing I would add. Don't go slow, speed allows you to lean more. To slow and you will get the sensation the bike is going to fall 🏍
Getting my knee down seemed an utterly impossible thing until at last I got it. Now it's fairly easy and has improved my control and understanding of handling a bike and faith in lean.
contrary to other comments, speed is important. Putting your knee down is not the target, it's just gauging you are fast enough entering the turn. With correct body position and sufficient entry speed, scraping the slider is just natural. Instead of focusing on touching with your knee, focus on letting the bike flow and not overbreaking, the common mistake of a beginner. Using trailbreaking helps a lot with this.
GP riders aren't Gods. Irish road racing riders are GODS! Who wants to slide in controlled gravel slides when you can hit the side of a pub, stone wall or steel fence post! Lol
Speed is unimportant. I did a knee down course in Germany a few months back. The training area was no bigger than 2 tennis courts. We were doing figure of 8's at about 35-40km/h with a knee easily down. Once you trust the tyres and hang off the bike its not very difficult.
Watched this clip last night. Managed to scrape my sliders just now. Thank you for the vivid explanation! Love u guys!!!
Are ya still scraping?😂

Higherst gear is a good tip! Would have saved me one "slide". Thanks for sharing.

John Cooper started this riding style late sixties and Barry Sheene made it famous
Watching this video made my insurance go up
Here's a video showing how to correctly & safely perform a knee-down motorbike turn. #MenAndMotors - ua-cam.com/video/QtOSsDFFjMo/v-deo.html
After the bike is turned we must push the gas?

Is there an optimum speed for this?

I'm 5 foot 2 inches and I have to almost get off the bike for my knee to touch the ground. It's not fun
This lads posture is terrible, watch another video on cornering posture instead.
So when you think you're off as far as you can be.. Push it some more..
His back is twisted....
