There is a similar thread on another forum I frequent, as do 2 other users of this forum and it turned out very popular.

I can, only on the right, but I can do it pretty much whenever I want.

I even scrubbed in the sliders that came free with performance bikes...

And I've had to turn my heine gericke slider upside down to wear down the other side. (and sideways, but that was just silly)

So who can, who can't? no judgements, just a bit of fun..

Nope. Not here, not me, no way, don't know how, don't want to, that's why my chicken strips are nice plump fillets and I intend to keep them that way, no, no, nix, nada etc etc etc.

I tried a while ago using my dads pants. I got the left one down on the exit of a roundabout. It was really difficult as they were way too small for me and i couldn't hang off as much just leanage. Cool

I have been close with no sliders as well but i didn't touch down becuase it would of probably hurt abit.

I've gone low enough each ride, but have never had kneesliders, so it's never been even an option. Chickenstrips are well gone, I assure you Smile . The most I do is lean my entire body ahead of the bike and that's enough for me as of yet. I have to admit I feel a lot more confidence when getting to the really low angles that way...

Yes and yes, although I only know one left hander on the road where I can do it. Must be why I'm getting addicted to the track... Twisted Evil

Just call me Gareth Rossi Wink

No-one expects to see the red-junk-heap flying round a roundabout sparking cuz the pegs are on the deck with my knee just next to it.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

In that case, I apologise, although it looks dodgy.

Disclaimer: I would point out, however, that in no way was I suggesting that Bendy can't get her knee down.

Here's my faves too. Razz
Haven't had my knee down for ages, it's probably about time I tried again.
