Getting a knee down is all body position and if you can turn your knee out moreso than lean angle.

Since I lift alot I can barely turn my leg out to a 30 degree angle. I can ride with one hand following people who drag knee in every corner, but I rarely do it.

No me, but thats ok. I still have lots of learning to do with curves but every trip i take I gain a bit of confidence.

Really don't want to push it on the streets though. : (

Can I? Yes. Do I? No. When we were at Indy, if I had pucks on I would have set a knee down on that highway interchange loop.

Taters whore!

I really need to get my bike put back together, but that won't be until next fall/winter. Oh, and I need to get some parts. But most importantly I need to get some leathers because studies show that jeans don't last very long after prolonged exposure to asphalt at high-ish speeds
