Well, some people say it cant be done, some say it can. I went out today in some pretty slick conditions, and got pretty close. It rained hard and hailed until about lunchtime... The sun came out and I went out to the asphalt pad about 5pm. The conditions were pretty slick and in the picture you can see the clouds in the background. As a matter of fact, it rained about 5 mins after I took the pics. The point is, you can get down really low utilizing good countersteer, body position, and concentration without blazing around a corner at 100 mph. I'd say the circle that I rode in isnt more than 40 ft across, so its not that big. On a good hot day with grippy tires I can really drag a good peg! I go out to the pad almost every day at lunch for about 30 mins just to practice. It helps a little I think. I take a lot of new riders out there too cause its a good place to learn.

That means these links point to files on your hard drive, not something posted on the internet. The rest of us can't see them. :no

Link is still dead. Try doing this. When you post a reply click the browse button under the file attachment and find the pic on your computer and then just submit. Hope this helps !!

I couldnt fit larger pics on the page. I dont have enough webspace to put them up either. I could e-mail you the big ones if you were crazy enough to want them. Its not like I'm elbow dragging! ha ha

Damn kneedragger, those are some sweet pictures!!! You've got some real photographic talent, haha. Are you really going only 20mph in those turns? Does practicing this make you more confident on the streets and tighter turns? Also, can you explain how you countersteer and position your body so that you can get that low at such a low speed without the bike just dropping to the ground? Thanks
