These pics are so beautiful and inspiring. Got me thinking... can I knee drag?

The answer, not after only 4 months, LOL! Hopefully in the near future. Good job.

Absolutely stunning photographs.

Of course it helps to have the right equipment too.

i saw about 10 bike thats had GoPros or video camera's of some sort

In that pic though i still laugh because from the gopro's camera angle, he must be only getting pics of the sky, hahaha

I have one and i know that angle isn't takking crap for him, lol

GoPro's are also really common out here. Everyone wants to make everyone else jealous of where we're lucky enough to ride.

I'm sure you'll agree with me though that no video or photograph can do that road justice at all. There's no way to tell just how twisty and steep that road is without being on it.

Don't TRY to drag knee. Please. Learn to use proper body positioning, ride within your limits, and use your head and if you get good enough, it will happen. If it does happen, great. But don't make it a goal. That's when you end up pushing your limits too far trying to touch down and not only the knee but the rest of you will end up sliding on the ground. Most of those guys have not only been riding for years, but been riding that road for years. They know it like the back of their hands. Plus most of them are also track rats so they've got a LOT of miles on sportbikes and know what they're doing. You'd be surprised to see many of those guys aren't exactly young bucks. They're not the fearless kids you might think they are. Some of the fastest guys I know are in their 50's. experience helps a lot when riding a sportbike like that.

Plus I'm not 100% sure dragging knee is possible on our bike due to the very low pegs. Unless you're a really small, light rider who and really get way off the bike and get that for off without using as much lean angle. (The farther you hang off the less lean angle needed to go around a corner at a given speed.) I've had my ass completely off the bike, hung way off, upper body way over, and even with the feelers off the pegs, I touched the peg and my toe slider on my boots before my knee touched. I just don't think the bike is built for the lean angle needed for knee dragging.

^^ We were just inspired by the photos... We know not to be stupid.

I'm in my 50's and have ridden with Owl Daddy whose a couple years older than I am and when that boy hits the twisties, he's like a duck in water. He flat spanked my behind. If it weren't for our bikes being so forgiving I could have gotten myself in trouble trying to keep up. I've decided I need allot more road time up in the hills to familarize myself with the roads before even thinking about keeping up with him.

i never try to keep up with my friends when i'm driving in the twisties either. most of the time by the 3rd or 4th turn they are gone. i just catchup at my own pace. they have bigger brakes, better tires, better suspension, and more driving exp than me anyways- since they go to the track a lot. i just try and enjoy the fun of driving harder-than-usual, but within my own safe limits. the mountain scenery is enjoyable too. a safe drive or ride is always the best one.

Always a good idea. I was pushing a little harder because I had never riden on the roads we were on and had no idea where I was or how to get home. We were both riding the exact same bikes (with the exception of his front forks having the emulators installed). He rides up in the hills all the time and is very familiar with the roads. I just need some seat time up there and then I may stay closer, but Owl Daddy is still a far superior rider than I am. I like you just enjoy seeing my improvement and being able to run a clean line through the corners.

Don't TRY to drag knee.

Ok. I will wait.

Now that I have the one piece race suit, I feel much more tempted to get a knee down. Not really a good think like stated above. Just get better and better in the corners and you will get there (if the bike will lean that far).

Just like trying to keep up with faster riders. It will only get you in the ditch or a tree. Ride your own ride, practice, practice, practice. You will eventually get better with your form and cornering. Just takes time.
