Motorcycle Sportbikes: How
and why to drag a knee?

If you ride a sportbike on the street,
it may occur to you that you're
riding it to about 10% of its
potential. But, on the street there is
90% more danger than on a closed
course, like a bonafide race track.
But, maybe you're one of the lucky
ones that lives where the twisties
are free of sand, rocks, animals,
and guard rails, and you wish to
increase your corner speed.
Sportbikes were made for the pure
rush of running a bike as fast
through a corner, sliding the front
tire, and then spinning the rear out
of the exit of the turn. But, without
the proper Center of Gravity (CG),
Contact Patch, and throttle
application, then one may find
themselves in a baseball-style slide
on their butt, or worse, being
ejected into the stratosphere due
to a high-side.
