So me and T0M decided to go for a quick blast and ended up practising wheelies, stoppies (didn't quite go to plan!) and some funny KD.

I also almost set my bike on fire (bike is weeping oil so keep topping it up but obviously over filled it). Well my overflow to the airbox came off on one end so it spilt oil onto the hot engine (lots of slow speed ragging) and started smoking...only noticed when Tom pointed it out to me Laughing

Anyhow, a roundabout that Tom knows of (Yeah we know, roundabout surfing!) seems to be really high grip, with a mini dual carriageway to another roundabout. Perfect spot!

Tom is on the R6, and me on the blandit 4.

Enjoy and laugh at our expense Very Happy

Edit - adding attatchments was taking ages. Will post links to photobucket in 5 mins.

Am I the only one that can see lots of red crosses?

Does The OP know that engine oil isn't flamable?

Think about it mate the engine oil is inside the engine I imagine inside the engine would be hotter than the casing.

I know oil isn't flammable but it was dripping onto my casings and was smoking off. Either that or it was something more serious Shocked

My rear tyre is fine, must be the camera angle. Still about 2.5-3mm of tread left Razz

Oh and proof you don't need leathers and sliders for a KD Very Happy

You went round a roundabout and put a hole in a pair of what appear to be, or at least once were, waterproof trousers. Laughing

Ruining good clothing and unable to navigate the british road system?

Engine oil is flammable. It's rare that it'll actually ignite, but it does happen and has been the cause of several recalls in cars.

If it's leaking onto the exhaust, keep an eye until it's cooled down.

Hehe, they are my Arlen Ness textile pants. I didn't think of the consequences of getting my knee down in them until it was to late Laughing

Aye scouse, if you go towards squires from garforth and on the dual carriageway (where you fork off left towards squires), just carry on and its there Very Happy

Yes I reconised the road.

Great roundabouts. Usually drift the car round them too.
