Unlikely knee down bikes

[Gazdaman]

Following on from another thread, has anyone seen/got their knee down on an unlikely bike.

I've been told about someone who could do it o a cg125, anyone managed it on an er-5, gpz, zzr? something along those lines?

Anyone ever ever touched down on a pan?

It is possible to get knee down on pretty much all bikes, just depends how... might mean a lot of lean angle or a lot of hanging off etc, but it's possible.

By the looks of the picture, it's bloody expensive on a Gold Wing though! Look at the sparks fly!!

You can tell the bike is loving it though.

Does anyone else think that picture looks like the bike is totally stationary, just leaning on the cylinder heads and there is someone hiding behind it with an angle grinder?

Yes, and they are also moving the backgound quickly past the bike in order to make it all blurry.
See?

I'm officially impressed, doesn't make the XJ seem quite such a mission.

Sorry to drag up an old thread.

Today Paulodd and I hit the local roundabout, he scraped a peg, I managed to scape a toe, even though I had my toes on the pegs Scared the shit outta me.

Apologies for poor pic quality, but you can see I'm close.

My brother claims to have got his knee down on my Honda SCV100. I've tried really hard but cant quite get my knee to touch down!

I got my knee down on my ped... then my arm, head, shoulders, and the rest of my body as I bounced down the road after it

I have managed to scuff the lowest fairings by leaning it over too much on a reverse cant hairpin bend . Amazingly, I managed to keep the wheels on the road, but I was shaking for the rest of the journey and taking corners at about 15mph

Providing you've got long enough legs and the bike's got sticky enough tyres, it shouldn't be a problem on most bikes.

On my DR with road-trail tyres, it wasn't a problem, nor danny's old GPZ: one of those lovely anti tart moments. I had been testing the brakes (well wet sponges that were used to slow the bike down ), we were stopped off a roundabout and there was some bloke on a Ducati 996 which we were told had a 998 engine in it (this made even better apparantly).
The rider wasn't quite over far enough to get his knee down and wasn't massively amused when I joined in on the Ratty GPZ, going a bit faster and getting my knee down with relative ease .

[Gazdaman]

There's always a ducati!

As I pulled up today with a guy I know off another forum he was chatting to a guy on a ducati 750SS who'd just got his KD for the first time.

This made me even more deturmined.

I'm nearly there, it'll happen soon. My rear tyre did come free on a £10 wheel off ebay though...and is decidedly square.

He's practically going in a straight line allready!

For moped racing I believe they often put a bar in that big, errr, 'hole' in the middle of the bike; so that they have something for their inner leg to rest against.
