    With the research I've been doing a lot of guys recommend not trying to start doing them in 1st gear but rolling on in 2nd as there is less chance of looping. As far as covering the rear brake - when my front wheel goes up I lose feeling to everything below shoulder level - including bowels

    The zed hurls the front up to the heavens. But then 180kg bike with 150 whp does that to you.

    The friggin thing spits foot long blue flames on the overun. I think next week we will learn how to tune it.....

    Why does your bike have a grudge with your oven? Bet it doesn't go down well with the Mrs when they start fighting in the kitchen

    He is my attempt to being a hooligan, 1st through to 5th before the corner got too close.

    Sorry about the sound, was the first trial of the GoPro on the SMR and I had the settings wrong, Filmed on a private road too
