At a 'T' junction turning right which is also really steep, I've filtered past a few cars as there is always a queue because of how difficult it is to pull out with any speed due to the gradient.
I'm at the front see a gap plenty big enough for me so off I go but revs die quickly obviously not enough throttle, so I pull the clutch in just a bit and give it plenty of throttle and let the clutch back out fairly quickly as I'm panicking a bit.
Next thing I know the front wheel is in the air SH1T little pull on the clutch then slip it a lot until I’m going ok.
The whole thing probably took a second or two and nobody had to slow down but fu*k me I could have done with some beta blockers after that.

Just spell checking this before posting and I misspelled panicking (just missed the 'k') and the suggestion was 'poncing'  ____________________ "A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a ton of explanation."
