getting back on after you have crashed

[Dragonfly]

i crashed last week, well my back wheel locked as i was changing gear and the wet didnt help, so off i came and a visit to the hospital and two weeks off work with a very bad knee (and breath)

anyway i cam off few year ago in wet oily ground and was a little afrid to get on the bike again (dif bike at the time) but i regained my confidence.

now this happens again and i dont want to be a tota llooser driving about always worring about the back wheel locking again.

its just a bit daunting thought of it happening again.

i am still a learner and am doing full hopefully very soon, just gathering up the money to do so.

also no one wants me to drive my bike cause they dont like it. i like driving it and i am used to it. its prejudice cause its a two stroke and old.

Were you changing down a gear?

If so, your engine revs were probably too low, and you let the clutch out too fast...

Try blipping on downchanges next time, where you snap the throttle open for a small time with the throttle open before knocking the gear down.

if you are feeling daunted, have a bit of quiet practise where you dont have to be anywhere in a hurry

practise on a quiet road or car park until you feel confident again

i have to brake slightly as my bike revs up into the powerband when i change gear but i didnt brake that hard. the bike just floated away from me really. i wouldn like it to happen again thats for sure. it was lashing rain alos and i was slowing down. i will have wee practice runs to get the confidence back. evertwhere you go round here has massive round abouts covered in oil terrible for biking

You will be sweet dragonfly, what chalky143 said, do it when it feels right.

That sounded sorta kinky. Hehe.
