    thats what i like to hare. keep up the good work.
    don't listen to alll thesse old grandays on here. atack balls out, no fear

    aren't intersections where the Diesel spirits, White Paint will o' wisps, Gravel ghosts and tosser cage drivers live?

    im personally all for doing stupid shit in traffic ..i spend 90% of my life driving around in it and could use some light entertainment...let me know where you're going next time .. love to watch a guy learn how a face plant feels.. i can even sell you some tools on the spot to fix it up

    RE5 trumps rs250 dude, sorry to point that out
    And whatcha talking bout cruisers... cruisers do wheelies plenty decent...

    Ah, its gonna be quite humorous (or not so) when the dude needs to have an RS250 removed from his spine...

    "yeah! stoppie! what the? oh shit!" -slip- -smash- -crunch- -paralyzed-

    nobody likes oil on the road...

    enough spamming people, perhaps I should have worded my original post better, I am not doing 100m 12 o clockers up to a busy intersection, ive just been experimenting with braking methods, how much grip is availible, and lifting the rear as I am rolling to a stop, it has been very much a case of starting from nothing over a couple months - braking onto the front wheel at 0kph, at 5kph, at 10 kph etc, I do them on empty roads mostly but I can tell you they have a 100pc strike rate of getting a look from the car you do it next to at the lights.
    I have locked the front 4 times on cold tyres and slid for about 1m but never enough to become a close call,
    If you dont test these limits, how are you going to deal with them when they happen unexpectedly ?
    Confident the aprilia rsv4, IS the one
