Wasn't planning a ride today, but the weathers great, so I'm going for a bimble about, I should be at Squires around 12ish if anyone fancies it. Jase.
sorry great guy the comment was .... for you to stop showing off.... cause the idea of me getting the knee down is miles away. and the other comment was for jkaye as he was asking how my little lad was
Cool. It took me weeks of practise (6 months ish). And even now I have to work on it; and do it on warm days. Yesterday is probably the last day for knee down in 2014 for me.
Being an 'Old School' Geoff Duke/Mike(The Bike) Hailwood style of rider (i.e. both knees gripping the tank at all times) I was a little surprised earlier on this year, whilst on the forum ride-out up the A44, to see (as we whizzed round one of those few and far between fast, open left-handers) a fellow member in front of me with his knee well planted on the tarmac and the smell of a melting slider wafting my way. I actually glanced down to see how far my own knee was from the road and, though I was gaining on him slightly, it looked about a foot or so to me. Ah well, 'Different Strokes for Different Folks' I guess, and I can leave those pristine knee-sliders that came with the suit gathering dust on the shelf.
