many years ago when still a teenager, Friday night Victoria St hamilton, (main street) on an MT50 (trail/dual purpose bike) dropped the clutch at the lights, bike leaps out from under me and I walk behind it on 1 wheel trying to get it back on the ground.....

I wondered if I would be posting in this thread... and I've done it! Was pootling back through from Kaiaua when I got hit in the head, long story short - I recovered and ended up on the ground after taking a breather trying to get going again! Full details in how it led up to that moment
