always wanted to get me knee down but was shit scared to do it but since starting the IAM course, I've learnt that a bike is at its most stable when upright and under some power..............I guess that's why the Police do what they do
I'm now counter steering through bends whilst still upright (ish) and its easy once you know how and have a bit of confidence, same for knee down I reckon
a few yrs back I read a piece in MCN about 2 power rangers who thought they were the nuts, went to a track with the race bikes, 2 plod on their Police beasts and thought they'd outrun the Plod................wrong!
1st PR clocked a time and thought he was good, 1st plod beat it hands down from a bolt upright riding position.
2nd PR shaved a few seconds off his mates time and thought "I'm the dogs" only for the 2nd plod to smash all records again upright.
The PR's said that they always said they'd try and outrun plod if chased but would now pull over immediately as they knew they had no chance of getting away, they said the Plods skills were awesome
