I wanna pay $75 to go do circles in a parking lot until I get comfortable enough to drag my knee!! It truly sounds like a worthwhile investment!!

But isn't the whole point to get through the corner as fast as possible and be leaned over for the least amount of time - resulting in getting up on the meat of the tire so you can get back on the throttle and go faster?

I've never understood the fascination with dragging a knee.

^^^^ I agree. And do you see how far off the saddle his ass is? If he were at full lean (at even a sport pace) his knee would actually be keeping him from leaning over enough. The idea behind cornering is to push the bike away from you to keep it as far "upright" as possible to maximize contact patch. The pros drag knee so they know just how much rubber they have left. Kinda like built in curb feelers

The more you hang off the bike, the less lean angle you need to make a corner at any given speed~

I think the point of the post was to scam people by geting them to send him $10 via paypal. Notice that he didn't put a number on the ad. I mean whoever put that picture on there probably doesn't even ride!

you get 20 or 30 suckers who have seen a AMA or superbike race and have no skill themselves they will send 10 bucks in a heartbeat. and once you have those suckers you are already topping 300 bucks.
