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.

I've dragged pegs and other parts before but not my knees.

I have never even come close to attempting it. I'm just a beginner and know it's way out of my skill level. As my skills increase I may but who knows. It's not one of my goals right now I just want to improve my skills enough to be a safe skilled "normal" rider.

Never on the street but I plan to on the track one day.

When I'm riding in jeans....I like to save my skin (as much as I can in jeans I suppose).
