    I thought my blade was invincible but went on a knee day down course costing 125 quid. At a last ditch effort to get me knee down the bike dropped and spun down the tarmac with me watching from the floor - shoulder hurts to type at present! Total cost of the day not much change out of 1,000!! If I can a pic on here will post soon

    My Opinion Only - It's just not worth risking your bike and your health for that extra inch.

    But those that can do it (And can afford to take the risk), I respect.

    I'd rather have a nice blade and still be riding in my later years without gammy knees.

    I've only done Elbow down once coming out of Graham Hill at Brands, depite the surprise I was pissed off that I scuffed the elbow on my leathers, wont be doing that again in a hurry, it costs too much in repairs
