the knee down effect is not that hard when u learn thru practice to do it..its a natural effect of physics like gravity in this case its centrifugal effect ..if u take a tight turn fast enough theres no other choice of taking that turn without getting crashed other than kneeling down the bike up tou your knees or elbow for adding support & stability while in hard turn.. the danger is coming out of that turn when u get so excited that u wanna rev it so hard that u can loose control...or the other opposite side of it,, when we get caught off guard bwfore the turn & we do not take the right race line or Id say the APEX of the turn ( which is the middle point of the two extreme points of the circunference of the turn dat makes a straight line (dat straight line is da race line)or if u can imagine id say the middle point of point A & point B ; a straight line between both points of the semi circunference of the turn..dats the race line in ... the stiffer the turn the shorter our trayectory in dat turn..& dats why we need to lay down the bike with the elbow to stabilize the centrifugal effect otherwise we would just miss the turn & straight to the grass... I'm not a pro racer but dats what i learnt when i took racing class... ..
if u didnt understand what i said just remember look at the point in da road where u gonna start da turn & then just look at the end of dat turn... dats it... point A then look at point B .. u will cut dat turn in just a stright line (but ur bike will be layed down during dat turn...the harder the turn the lower the bike) & at the middle of dat turn ur bike should be at the APEX point or id say the center point of dat line... also your head possition during the turn is a critical part of it... ur head should be 45 degrees turned & ur eyes just focusing the Point B or da point where dat turn ends..
hope this helps try doing it safely at the racetrack... dats the best way to maximaze speed during turns... the dragging part of elbows & knees .. it just make u look gud in pictures..hehe

the approach here is a late turn... can bank it easily & slice dat turn like butter (& for sure knee hard down)..warm up the tires before taking dis kind of turn aggresive or racing fast..(can also take this approach in da mountains of baguio or mountains of Sta Elena,here in cam norte, just make sure u kno the road, no pot hole & no incoming vehicle...almost impossible..hehe .. better yet dont even try it ..dis is for the track..hehe safety 1st always)... btw in dis kind of turn is where a race is defined, v rossi overtaking in dis kind of turn in da last lap of the race for 1st place... bikes side by side he was inside the turn he would not let the other bike lean down & the resut he left dat bike in da dust... hehe ride safe
