ok so we've all seen Rossi hanging his leg out whilest braking into tight turn dose it make any diffrence is it an air brake or counter balance ?  well i know its not for the road but i just been out thought id try it found my fave bit o quiet road no one about and stuck my leg out going into a tight bend from legal speeds im not mad after all you know ! now obviously its not going to make much if any diffrence at 60mph but i found that   1/ it feels really weird   2/ it dose make for a good air brake ( bit like popping you head and shoulders into the wind when you been going a bit quick )   3/ counter balnce well on my heavy road bike i found no disernable diffrences   conclusion  i wont be bothering again  and dont think plod would be amussed anyway  and i did feel silly but it made a change       disclaimer allways ride safely and within the law                                                                                                                                                                              

Bro all i can say is good on u for having a go lol                                                                                                                                                                              

Seen a few scooter/moped riders doing it, so it must be good                                                                                                                                                                             

I've tried it as well ............. just made my leg cramp up.

 AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!                                                                                                                                                                             

hehehe its not just me then ? how many more out there tried it                                                                                                                                                                              

Not me but i do get my knee down a few times                                                                                                                                                                             

It might be to cool down his nether regions, other than forming a road block for anyone tryin to pass, there is no advantage but I do see many more trying it out.                                                                                                                                                                              

maybe its some kind of `in` joke just to see how many people actually start doing it........spose I`d better have a go                                                                                                                                                                             

You could be right there julie                                                                                                                                                                             

Baaaaaaaah   I allways followed the crowds julie lol                                                                                                                                                                              

There's an old saying....  "only dead fish go with the flow"                                                                                                                                                                               

hmmmm following the flow would mean the take the easy route or let trouble flow over me
i definetly dont take that one so i guess that make me a swimmer then lol                                                                                                                                                                              

Don't forget in Europe the "leg out" is the equivalent of our "nod", so maybe Rossi is just really freindly and acknowleding everyone on track                                                                                                                                                                               

cant quite get the cheek off so leg out will ave to  do for now!
