There have always been varying positions about it and Skanky has written a nice write-up on it. where do you stand on dragging knee on the street?

I think knee draging on the streets is too dangerous unless it is an isolated road

I know.....I know this has been a big discussion lately. That was Brushy Mountain. My last post of Shady Valley is a little better, but quite a bit of lean to go. :jump

You can go fast without dragging your knee - many people are just tall and extend it out there and think they are going fast.

I've only touched a stock footpeg into the ground once - once I got my gilles I don't touch any pavement with bike parts or body parts.

I think you should hang off just a little more so you can get your knee down.

Reminds me of this pic
