    cant do it...
    tried and tried to the point where I wore away the front of my boots due to the toe touching down. Even tried on a mini moto without sucess o_O

    I don't exactly get my knee down but on my scoot I lean it right over round pretty much any corner when it's dry, my chicken strips are at about 1cm at the moment. On my old back tire it was worn right to the edge :D

    I've NEARLY fallen off, in that I can feel the slippy part of the tire that hasn't been ridden on before make the whole bike slide about but luckily held it ahaha that's happened alot of times, and also when the tires just plain aren't warm enough :oops:

    I've come off alot!,but that's more to do with mileage than being a bad rider.
    Very tactile rider so can ususlly feel the state of the parts/part.tyres as i'm making my
    way along so i know how far to push/or have a a..hole tweaking moment/giggle. :) .
