For all you pussies who can't do it, the best way is just to crash. Done deal.

My option is not up there.
I got my knee down on my first (and only) track day once.
that is it... ND is too flat to get it.

dont have many turns here in florida and havent been to the track yet
so that would be a big negative ghost rider for now

Taters whore!

I really need to get my bike put back together, but that won't be until next fall/winter. Oh, and I need to get some parts. But most importantly I need to get some leathers because studies show that jeans don't last very long after prolonged exposure to asphalt at high-ish speeds

Since I lift alot I can barely turn my leg out to a 30 degree angle. I can ride with one hand following people who drag knee in every corner, but I rarely do it.

Maybe you should look at adding some flexibility trainging into your workouts...

My experience is the same with the 954... It's not a very comfortable bike to get in position on...
