Default Who here has never dragged a knee?

This may come as a surprise, but I have NOT...but..

just because you drag a knee, doesnt always mean you are fast, i'm not slow, i ride with a bunch that do drag knee, but i've passed MANY on the inside while they were draggin and i wasn't

every time my knee has touched the pavement it has quickly been followed by my elbow, shoulder and head.

I'll get it right one of these days.

I have not and we normally roll along a pretty good pace. I don't have any desire to do so on the street, if it happens on the track it happens. I agree that knee down or excessive lean angle does not equate to being the fastest. I do focus on my lines when cornering though.

To drag a knee in our "twisties", you'd probably have to exceed 100mph. I don't feel comfortabe trying that. Knowing my luck, I'd hit a deer, or some gravel.
