Default Knee down time

I know most of you hate threads like this so avoid it if you want, i know its a beat down topic...


who can get it down and who are still trying?

I know the first time i touched down it was a bit of a relief, now its just normal on a spirited ride to touch down once or twice.

I know this is more of a track question, but lets be honest, I have done it in the streets and will prolly do it again.

makes me really love my leathers and without them i feel naked and ride at like 30% my normal pace.

so who gets it down and who still is left wanting like a virgin at prom....

i feel spoiled, living in TN offers more chances for good rides then any other state i can think of, with CO being a close second

I'd say you got your knee down pretty good! Here's how we do it in GA:

Got it down on my last track day beginning of this month. I won't even try on the street unless it was a life or death situation.
