Who here has never dragged a knee?

This may come as a surprise, but I have NOT...but..

just because you drag a knee, doesnt always mean you are fast, i'm not slow, i ride with a bunch that do drag knee, but i've passed MANY on the inside while they were draggin and i wasn't

i also have not. Our roads and my skills are not quite up to rubbing off that last centemeter of rubber

every time my knee has touched the pavement it has quickly been followed by my elbow, shoulder and head.

I'll get it right one of these days.

Not even close.

Never on the street and don't plan to.

Tmall · 04-04-2009, 05:14 PM

I've never done it.

Sixxxxer · 04-04-2009, 05:48 PM

Never have and I dont have a desire to either...

I have not and we normally roll along a pretty good pace. I don't have any desire to do so on the street, if it happens on the track it happens. I agree that knee down or excessive lean angle does not equate to being the fastest. I do focus on my lines when cornering though.

To drag a knee in our "twisties", you'd probably have to exceed 100mph. I don't feel comfortabe trying that. Knowing my luck, I'd hit a deer, or some gravel.
