Default Got the Knee thing going on the corners!!!

Just a gorgeous ride this a.m. to work with the sun shining and the temperature above 10 C. I felt like buzzing it a bit around the corners and had all my leather gear on so I was giving her!

Noticed my knee starting to slip out and down! Felt great! Seems to really help on the corners. I have to tell you , though, that the knee is still about two feet from the pavement, so I ain't exactly a boy racer yet!

Anybody get into this in a big way or is it just kinda a silly thing to do for an old newbie like myself?
