it actually looks like you scared the crap out yourself and sorta bounced it off the pavement... no lines as you would see in scraping, but more a, sorry for the expression, "knee jerk reaction"...Dragging your knee is legal
soon enough you'll be ordering new knee pads every weekend...
which brings up... when is your first track day? You're way overdue!
you sicko!!!
Wait, I haven't been riding on a track?it actually looks like you scared the crap out yourself and sorta bounced it off the pavement... no lines as you would see in scraping, but more a, sorry for the expression, "knee jerk reaction"...

Damn, that explains why I keep seeing those dang speed limit signs. Nice! Hope I can get that good soon. I'm practicing, but it's taking a long time. lol. x_X
Speaking of which, on the way down the mountain in ACH today I saw a guy on what i think was a black GSXR-1000 wearing nothing but sneakers, jeans & t-shirt -and- carrying a female passenger wearing a tank top and daisy dukes... Dumb asses were flying around corners around 75 mph. I was maybe going 60/ 65 and had to let them pass...
We passed a speed trap and I was surprised both CHP vehicles let them go. (speed limit up there is 45, but most bikers go over 60.)
It just saddens me to see ppl take unnecessary risks like that without gear... After their flesh is spread like strawberry jam all over the pavement, it's too late. Sigh.

I agree... Wearing gear would save a lot of hurt and trouble. Here's a pic of what I was wearing... My facial expression tells everything due to it being 102. If you must know, Fuel is crazy expensive where I was due to no gas stations with in a close distance.Nice! Hope I can get that good soon. I'm practicing, but it's taking a long time. lol. x_X

Jon is leading the way for the rest of us
I think that my practicing of deliberately "not hanging off the bike" is helping. I'm getting faster and also getting a much better sense of what my tires & the bike are doing. As I suspected, it's also been forcing me to want to start hanging off slightly- but more naturally. Ie I'm finding now that riding this way is naturally making me gradually develop the feeling of how to shift my body weight before turning. Before, I was doing it because I thought it was proper form- without really being able to "feel" what was going on. Now I'm beginning to feel the gravitational pull that makes u naturally want to hang off a little.
I hope I'm on the right path with all this...

Is it too early to order the Ti knee sliders now ?
Hanging off is fun, and has a practical purpose, but in my estimation the point where a knee would naturally touch the ground represents a cornering G force that is above my comfort zone. I kinda found a 'natural' limit where I feel safe, and really don't exceed that (streets), but it would be fun to go to the track and push it to my real limit and see what happens
It doesn't require high speeds to drag a knee. You can do it in a parking lot by riding in a circle.
Well put. I'm just about the same.Jon is leading the way for the rest of us

getting dizzy watching that
Where did you find that vid of me knee dragging? lol
Where did you get a CBR600RR? :eyebrow:
In all honesty, when my knee gets to the ground on the street when im at speed, thats usually the sign to tell me to back off a bit. Some roads tend to make it easier. Palomar is one of them.Hanging off is fun, and has a practical purpose, but in my estimation the point where a knee would naturally touch the ground represents a cornering G force that is above my comfort zone.
