Why don't Police riders hang off the seat?

My knee down attempts are beginning to piss me off.

There is no more rubber to run in on the rear, yet my knee is still a mile away from the ground. And I manage to scrape my toes on roundabouts too.

As I said. It's beginning to piss me off.

From what I've been told this is down to body position. I knew someone who could get their knee down whilst the bike was upright, but then he was about 7ft tall

I have the same problem as you though - it's all about position.

Not sure... I'm following the Keith Code and MCN advice to the letter, and my mechanic (an ex-sports bike enthusiast) seemed to think my body position was fine. There's an annoying lack of isolated nice roundabouts round here though.... maybe Bozboz can give me some pointers on the Box Hill LoFo run - the only scuffs on my sliders are from the cupboard, and it's annoying me!!
