Dragging knees on the Hayabusa...

[Scott W]

OK, curious for some honest feedback here.

I've spoken to two very experienced and good riders in the last 10 days who admitted to me that they have never dragged their knees whilst on their Busas, even though they had many times on other bikes.

Who (anonimously if you wish) can honestly say they have dragged their knee whilst on their Busa?

Just for the record, I've scrapped pegs on both sides but never dragged the knee.

How about you guys?Regularly drag knees on the Hayabusa.Dragged my knee once by mistake. Scrape pegs, but not kneesHave not yet scraped pegs.I've not yet figured out how to turn, I just go in a straight line.Show results

You forgot "feel like I'm getting close to scraping knees, but know in reality that you could fit a tractor in the gap..."

I only just got my bike and i am coming off a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500... so i still cant get the smile off my face....
as far as dragging knees.. i would be more worried about getting a small scratch on my sexy new bike, either on the fairing or the pegs haha... but if any one is intrested i have a movie called Mach2, a bunch of pommy nuts riding the busa and the blackbird to the limit... where they actually get their knees down so you can see how its done (scary) i live near camden in sydney if any one wants to borrow it... sseervai@bigpond.net.au

Ahh yes, the Fast Bikes Show boys, they make fantastic videos, I have Mach 3 where they also knee scrape on a busa but I've been looking for Mach 2 for a while..

the only time i scarped my knees on the busa was when i wrote the thing off and ended up in hospital getting the bitumen scraped out of my knees, elbows, forearms etc etc D">

You ride a 300 kilometre per hour ballistic missile AND you want to get a knee down...for f***'s sake..WHY???!!! To the last I will grapple with thee; from Hell's heart I stab at thee; for Hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.

You want me to think about whats around the corner, countersteer, watch where I am going, gas out of the corner AND put my knee down. Your f*&^ing kidding right?
