knee pad, maybe
Quote:
Could his knee pad have touched and caused the rear wheel to lighten its contact. I don`t race so I don`t know if a racer is allowed to or supposed to touch that pad. Is it a `bad` thing to let the knee pad touch or scrape the pavement... bEb |

The reason riders drag knee is to gauge how far they're leaning.

I saw a video after that comment, and the guy was leaving a spark trail from his knee pad, So I guess that's what it's for alright.

From the sound, he gunned the throttle when leaned over. Poor throttle control throughout, probably his first bike.

They're velcroed on so that if you do put that much pressure on it you're more likely to lose the slider than lever the bike off the ground. Road racers can get through a few sets during a weekend, I've seen a few spectators collecting them from the ditchline once the road opens after each race Some are designed to do that, they have chunks of zippo flints embedded in them, most don't |

@Whiskey & @nickjpass: aahhh. Didn't know that. That makes sense. I always just thought that the knee out was just a natural thing riders did to balance and the slider was just a safety thing. I've found myself sticking my knee out without evening thinking about it when I've made a steeper lean angle than normal (which isn't much: I've still got the little rubber feelers sticking out the sides of my tyres Chicken wings.).
I've never touched a slider: are they lubricated, or just smooth plastic? |

they're not lubricated just plastic (polyurethane AFAIK) same as the sliders on most bike boots & race gloves

Not that I have tested or anything, but the pucks on my A* suit, my word. I have to use a flathead screwdriver to peel the spent pucks off. I don't see them coming off before I come of the bike.

After watching the original video (and zooming in at 10x) I noticed a sheen on the road which leads me to believe some butter or peanut butter was placed on the road to create the video.

Did his face smack into the bike as it launched? Looks like his full-face helmet and gear paid off.

If you listen closely at the very start of the video you can hear him almost lose it into a classic Mullholland lowside, but he saves it. The problem is that when he gets it back upright he's fighting a mild tank-slapper and can't steer through the corner.

Reason number two in favor of a 250 Ninja. When you blow a corner and total the bike. You are only out 4000 dollars not 9000. Just saying
