Term used to describe the act of motorcycle roadracing, in which the rider's inside knee often comes in contact with the track surface while cornering and with the motorcycle leaned over.
Knee dragging is more likely when the rider is hanging off of the motorcycle - a technique used to minimize the lean angle of the machine and thereby maximize tire traction. For this purpose, leather roadracing suits incorporate
knee pucks (also known as
knee sliders) on the outside of each leg, just below the knee.
Billy was knee dragging all over
Road Atlanta last weekend.
