99% of the time, I've found riders THINK they're leaning their bike when they actually aren't and they THINK they have good body position when they actually look like stumps sitting square on their bikes.
Possibly the hardware...often times the student thinks they are leaning more than they are...

How might the RATE at which you turn the bike determine if you knee hits the deck or not? Would someone that is turning the bike quickly be more likely to touch down than someone that is leaning over slowly?

What about how quickly a rider is turning the bike? How might that have an effect on whether or not the rider can get a knee down.
