Ok folks, before i feck off to Afghanistan I have a challenge for yous. On Sunday, at Box Hill, I was informed by two gentlemen of my acquaintance that it was impossible to get your knee down on a Honda Hornet, you 'knee’ded a sports bike LOL:D
Elad has since stepped in to offer to prove me wrong.
Now before this bike is sold, I want to know if anyone wishes to prove to me that you can indeed get your knee down on a Hornet. If anyone is up for the challenge I shall bring it to the BCR roundabout.
Only criteria - NO ONE trashes or bins it, as I still will need to sell it!!
Okay - we have Ratty and Elad up for the challenge. No, I was told in all seriousness it could not be done on a Hornet, but I am thinking they might have meant it could not be done by ME on a Hornet LOL:D:D
easy! but i also have the record for the most consecutive crashes so not a good idea. i dont mind showing you but if it goes wrong you would be on ur own there. sory
well that bloke is me lol and its a bog standard heap of crap hornet i used to hoon around on. i also raced hornets last year taking many race wins…always knee on the deck.
so tell the idiots who reckon its impossible to stick it where the sun don’t shine lol
lol not on fast forward. there is another vid on there going the other way round the bend. i’m 6ft tall and a bit wonky being full of metal. being tall only makes you look more stupid doing it lol…just go fast enough and you’ll get it easy peasy. Hornets handle a dream and suprise most.
hels i have the exact same bike as you and keen knee down no probs. knee & toe slider at the same time being my favourite i’d come and show you on your bike if i could get up before 9am on a sunday morn. not that you now need me too. seb’s posts say it all
Well I’m 5 foot 5, although am taller with my biker boots on, so maybe there is hope LOL:D
The guys that told me it could not be done are really lovely fellas, but maybe they were trying to make me feel better, after me attempting the Pirbright Esses on Sunday and having NO CHANCE of a knee down!!
Yeah Hornets are the business, would love to see it done on mine - great pics eh Seb, that proves it can be done!! Maybe I can bring it to the roundabout after 9 am for Ad to prove his point too!! I think if I tried a knee down it would end in disaster, a foot down maybe:)
Sorry Hels but you CAN get your knee down on a hornet and the blokes who said you can’t do not know what the f*ck their talking about…bet they never even been on a hornet :doze:
