Steel some police accident road closed signs and close off your favourite area for the afternoon.

I thought I was well over on this corner... looks more like one of those IAM or police training pictures! :blink:

Cheers fella, It was a safe environment to do it in! It's a perfect roundabout, very very smooth surface, with no bumps at all.Treadtrader wrote:Your a young guy doing what comes natural, having some fun. :woohoo:

CRAIGREVO, I'm going to need a couple of those! :woohoo:
OB1, that does indeed look like an IAM position - fair play to ya. I have plenty friends who cannot knee down but go round track like cats on fire! :laugh: Try getting your arse off the seat and hang your upper body off more. It's quite odd and hard to get used to, but hanging right off like a gibbon is fun, feels like youre almost dragging your chin on the floor! :silly:

Looks like fun trying, but a bit of sandpaper or a whizz with a grinding disc can produce similar results I'm toldVersysRider wrote:I purchased a new set of knee sliders so wanted to scuff them up a bit

Re: My general lunacy (stupid vid!)
So, thats the right knee slider done, what about the left one.
Did you go round again the wrong way?
Swap sliders over, remembering to put it on the at the right angle so the scrapes are semetrical?
Or
Have you still got a virgin one?
Oh and if you get caught by the rozzers, that'll be 3 points and a fine at the least :whistle:
Oh and I want to see the evidence next time we meet!

Re: My general lunacy (stupid vid!)
I'd have cheated and got the angle grinder out :woohoo: Quick grind on each slider and no one will know the difference – that or tie them to some rope and drag 'em down the road behind the car for a mile or two.
No chance of this on the Tenere – if I get my knee down it'll closely be followed by my arse.
