    2 hours? Blimey after circulating a roundabout for that long you would end up with a triangular tyre.[/quote]

    Advice from my big broth, yep he can touch down Lol

    To get your Knee down safely you need to be shown how by someone you know and trust, otherwise you won't have the confidence in believing there instructions!

    You need to be relaxed, and have a very loose body. You must also take your time and only expect to touch down a fraction after 10 - 15 lap's of the round about, the more and more you practice the closer you get to touching, you are never as far over as you think!.

    Word of warning, if you are not comfortable with it 'don't try'

    Take care

    Jon

    First time I did it I wasn't even trying............flicking across a clear roundabout...............right knee out as usual........carrying quite a bit of speed..............on my way to work ...................

    ssssccccrrrraaawwwppp...............what the feck was that

    I find you need to look awell head, right arse cheek off the seat, counter steering (pushing on the right bar), nice and smooth.............

    Too many people reach for the ground going too slowly..........if you correctly positioned on the bike, and you are no wobbling around too slowly then it will happen.

    Getting your left knee down is harder unless you can find a deserted roundabout on a commercial estate :-/
