Same.

Maybe in a parkin lot, but I don't ever plan on dragging on public roads. FAR too many variables, far too much risk involved, even for the most talented & experienced of riders.

If you're on a knee there's virtually no possible way that you can avoid an unexpected hazzard that's in your immediate path while keeping it on two wheels & on the road.

That's a risk I'm personally not willing to take.



But put me on a track with other experienced racers & I'll have my knee on the ground with bikes just inches away on either side of me.
