Nearly Spilled

[dextersaurus]

Hi guys.

Just in from college, and the coolest yet scariest ride of my life.

Just before i left the heavens opened and it pissed down, so i was taking it easy. I was coming through a roundabout - going to the last exit)

Anyway, i was holding the throttle steady as i came to the exit, and i dont know how, but the back end came out from beneath me, but i kept the thing up. So I was basically drifting through the corner.

Looked dead cool but i was bricking it, and everything was in slow motion. Grabbed the clutch and let go of the throttle and it fishtailed for a wee bit, but i kept it up and when it was stable i pulled over.

The cager that was behind me pulled over to see if i was ok

Just had to get that off my chest first *nearly* and hopefully the last.

Cheers

Dunc

That's quite impressive dunc, I've only ever kept it upright on slight wobbles in straight lines.

Translates to -

I was riding home and the back end stepped out 1 inch. I pooed myself.

Quality Dunc! Did you shout rock and roll whilst you were doing it? Because if you didn't, then you are no longer a man!

[warped one]

Good fun aint it.

Now just put on more lean and revs to kick out the back and it will look even cooler. Will be the ultimate if you can drag your hand along the floor as you go left.

Cheers

Was gonna say +2 but benefit of the doubt


Reason why? most likely diesel on the road, is it a bus route?

i quite often lock the rear wheel or spin it up going into a corner for shits and giggles and also for the reason that if i bin it, im not too fussed.

the way you and i ride though is probably very different

Well held then mate
I had one just like what you have said once, apart from It was going into a corner
I thought I was off

Anyway, keep drifting haha only joking
Take care

[Paulington]

My back end steps out regular as clockwork when I am pushing to get a smaller lean angle, RS50s tyres are awful though, edges are turning blue from overheating.

I guess you get used to it, I did the exact same thing on a roundabout outside my College the other day.

People without balls drift in cars.

agreed,

Dunc, why not buck the trend of the ped bois and actually just learn to ride using the bike in the manner it was designed for?

When you feel the urge to pin the throttle everywhere, spin up the tyres on every corner whilst getting your knee down and exiting with a one handed stand up wheelie then it is time to take a wee break and relax a bit


^^^you might think it looks cool, but to 99% you would just look like a c*ck

You can still be a pedboi on a sports 600. The pedboi mentality is usually put to rest regarding 2 wheels when they turn 17 and buy a Corsa/Impreza depending on how much money their parents make, the ones who like bikes will pass test and buy an old sports 600 though, fit a well sporty exhaust and continue to ride like a monkey.

ped boi is all about the mentality, going balls out throttle pinned everywhere is an attitude you grow out of, keeping it instead until the roads are suitable and the conditions allow.

In town, roundabouts etc etc are not the place to mess about

Well done on saving it. I know it can feel scary if it happens when you're not expecting it.

I never had it happen on my 125 but my CBR600 did it the first time I rode it. It was wet and I gave it a bit too much beans, albeit in a straight line. That was on a shitty Avon tyre though.

Current bike once did it on the new local bypass in a straight line too. It was on another shitty Avon and it was at something like 90mph ion 2nd or 3rd. That was a bit 'un-nerving'!!
