Now Im no riding god but this felt amazing!!!!
Can anybody do this on purpose in the dry (Rossi need not reply to this) and if so how hard is it at higher speed to get right??
And tonight leaving my mates street I back off top end 1st and the back end came round, I was immediately on full lock and dipped the clutch to bring it back in line, dropped clutch again but wheel was still locking up, ran wide just managing to avoid the kurb and continued my ride home. I like the idea of motorcross style riding, this brought back happy days of downhill MTB racing
Maybe I could buy a crosser and practice Hmmm

first, diesel is a cnut.
Seecond, to stop the rear locking up, stop fecking about in first gear and change to second. Its the compression of the engine spinning thats locking the wheel. great for showing off, not so great for getting round corners.
