Getting your knee down isn't that hard, you just goto have the right technique.
Went for a ride on the old road on Sunday (f*** what a disaster, on top of the police patrols we had the EPA to contend with) still went scratching though regardless. I'm used to scrapping knees because of my racing experience so I might find it easier than most, but u don't have to be cranked right over to scrape your knee.
I don't scrape pegs on the road, but when I went to the track later that arvo I scraped pegs and fairings but hardly scraped my knee, I adjust my riding to the different road conditions accordingly......(you actually ride faster without scraping your knee, take a look at the gp next time they only use their knee as a guide and don't really put weight on it) I do the same on the track as well, but like to drag it on the road just for fun...)
The suspension has been done on both the front and back of my bike , so it tracks very well. But at no time did I feel the bike was going to fall over or grind away the crank covers, even though it came close.....pics to follow once i fix this puter (it shit itself and needs everything reloaded)
cheers.....Paul
