Damn..!!

All guys here scrape your knees like you've beeb doing it since pre-KG!!

I can max scrape my footpegs...Its an art

Hmm.. Kartik that very good... B'eacuse scaping the footpegs is a difficult task,rather the Knees probably is an easy.. b'cz you do not have to bend the bike that hard to scrap knees,but the tact involved to do that is to take a curve more neatly with out leaning the bike much!
But more skill is required to scrap the footpegs rather the knees.. and more is required to do in the above pic!

See things,Click your own snaps,or get them clicked,take some one along,and try to shift the body wieght along with the hip movement when you take a curve,leaning with your knee out,,gives you confidence to lean at good speed and take the curve
in a continuous flow!!

I strongly recommend this book called "Sport Riding Techniques" by Nick Lenatsch to anyone who is looking to hone his/her cornering skills. I am pretty sure there is a soft copy online which can be downloaded for free as it's a pretty old book. The book surely help me a lot to improve my riding skills.

Probably more than that... but come on it will take you a long way as far as your riding is concerned. And again that's just a few hours of download time
