Default So Im in this club...

Its the "I can drag knee club". How many of you are in it?

I have some questions/Rants.

How come everytime I drag knee I feel like my back end is about to fly out under me?

Anyone ever accidently let there back end slide out ever so slightly when on a roundabout doing laps? Its happend to me twice and its scary as hell.

I have a video of my knee dragging on my cell phone becuase my friend was on the side of the curve taping it so if your phone can get videos I can send it! Lmk

The back end may be sliding out on you due to bad tires or maybe you need to set your suspension up for you.

Hey man, Im doing pretty good, working ALOT, and Riding on my days off, There are not many good roads up here where im at, so I gotta ride like 2 hours north to hit some good country curvey roads which sucks, but its worth it! Lots of round abouts near me though where I can get low, and some neiborhoods but I get ran out of them alot . Hope all is well with you!

set your suspension up correctly, use better tires at the PROPER psi for the heat you are putting into them, and get your ass off the seat. Most of the time people who are getting a knee down for the first time are no where near the body position they should be at to keep the bike as upright as possible. A pics would be helpful. Good job tho-EZ

need tires (take offs)? PM me
