Sonoma! I guess Thunderhill and Laguna Seca are outside your radius.

I don't know about others but I'm pulling in excess of 1.1-1.2 g when my knee touches down. You are not going to last long pulling >1.1g on public roads and you could take out others trying - public roads almost never have sufficient sight-lines.

Anywhere not on a public road.

You must be young. Take the advice of those here who have been around and you may live to be old. In the meantime, take it to the track or an empty parking lot.

SONOMA Raceway and Laguna Seca are close.

Lots of nice roads, but knee dragging speeds are more likely to get a performance award or worse. A lot of traffic in the SC Mountains these days.

However your term could just mean having fun.

Lots of fun to be had for sure. :ride

KTMKen and some BARF folks rode today on my fav road where the speed limit is 55 but you are an animal if you can average 40. So ther is that.

Serious speed is way mor fun on the track, and we seem to be blessed with an extrodianary number of the most awesome venues in the world very close by.

Don't miss that while it is still available.

We live in the center of the universe. Enjoy.

Nope. I actually met this dude on Redwood. Angelica and I were out shooting photos of the new Gold Wing, and he and his lady stopped and asked if Redwood was the only good road in the area. :teeth

Edit to point out you need to stop by my house with $10. :twofinger

Just FYI but putting your knee down actually makes you go slower. You put the knee down when you start coming off the tires. Do that first.

Wait OP has a KTM adventure bike in his sig'. Either he is doing it wrong (dragging knee on an ADV bike) or he is using "dragging knee" as a euphemism for fast fun road.

It's not about being fast or smooth or technically correct, it's about looking kewl. Come on, everyone knows that.

Did OP post a photo of himself with name and license plate visible?
Interesting individual if Google search results are accurate. Would explain the ankle bracelet.

I hope we're being trolled.
