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 |

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!  |

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 ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

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.

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  ____________________ Fallen Angel "Nae sniffing my seat now!!!!! "

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  ____________________ Fallen Angel "Nae sniffing my seat now!!!!! "
