Street riding is NOT the place to be knee dragging. That should left to trackdays where you can explore the limits in relative safety. Looking at the drop-offs on your route one small mistake while leaned way over and dragging your knee (sand, oil, oncoming car encroaching on your lane) and you are over the edge and flying in the air. Stay safe.

Stay safe. 4  upload a photo on internetHe wasn't riding recklessly or putting anyone else in danger. I too enjoy pushing my bike on mountain roads. Yes I completely understand there is an inherent danger, but there is no feeling into he world quite like living on the edge. I'm sure he understands the risk. |

Looking at the drop-offs on your route one small mistake while leaned way over and dragging your knee (sand, oil, oncoming car encroaching on your lane) and you are over the edge and flying in the air. Stay safe. While I agree to some degree, risk is a completely personal assessment. Aside from the bounds of law there isn't any documented limit for how much is too much. Keep in mind that you're watching a video of a road you may not have ever ridden on and the OP's experience on that route has a huge part to play in his comfort level. There's plenty of roads out there where you can push a bit...if you know the road, identify the hazards, and ride smart. This one looks like there's great sight lines, light traffic, and a mostly clean road surface and he wasn't ever going outlandishly fast. I would not personally ride on the street with the goal of dragging knee but if I'm riding within my limits and it happens, no biggie. Its funny...the first time I touched knee was at my first track day and it was my goal all day long. It finally happened in the first afternoon session and my reaction was just like theirs. Whooping and hollering, har har har, showing off my pucks and footpegs, telling all my friends like I just got my cherry popped, while the other guys that did it on the regular just smirked. |
