  • Dragged Knee! Booyah!

    Last week was my first track night. Was getting comfortable with tossing the bike around, and finding my lines and whatnot. Didn't get off the seat, and didn't have my upper body lined up right either. It was more of a trial-run, if you will.

    This week, my buddy's goal was to get me offa the seat. And to start lining my upper body correctly. We scored better than that tho.

    Thaaaaat's right. I did it. Tonight, through three different right hand corners, my knee got contact. Got a good drag on a sweeper, and a couple of short drags on two tighter turns.

    The first time it happened, it freaked me out, so I ended up crapping the corner and standing her up... didn't bail or anything, but certainly didn't make good time on that lap lol

    I could see that I was soooo close to dragging on a left hand hairpin, but i just couldn't drop low enough. Maybe next week.

    Best rush, ever! Came offa my set and was just beaming! Couldn't stop giggling all night!
    the kat may be the gixxer's retarded cousin, but she's a hefty broad... and i do loves me some girth between my thighs.

    congrats. i look forward to finally dragging a knee, although there aren't many opportunities down here in florida, unless i wanna cough up the hundreds of dollars to go to a track day and get gear. just remember that getting your knee down isn't always the most important thing when going through a corner. so that left hander you were talking about, if you can get through at optimal speed without your knee touching, then so be it. but if you find that getting a bit more lean, possibly off the bike more, and getting your knee down while keeping the bike more upright will get you through faster, go for it

                          shoot a pic of your knee puck (or whatever that thing is called... obviously, I've never had a knee down yet).
