    It's obvious I know what I'm doing you see! Load your mind with hundreds of opinions and ideas, then go and practice them all at the same time. Your ride/crash ratio will slowly but surely match mine.

    Firstly, who teaches the teachers? Many on here are able to remember the racing drivers/riders from the 60,70,80's. Historicaly, old style riders didnt climb all over the bike, find clips of riders like John Surtees, Mike the bike Hailwood. Then in the 70-80's bikes had enough power for the Spencer, Roberts, Dunlop era riders to start power sliding then power drifting through corners. It was an evolution of style and machine. Those of you who go on 'track days' are being taught by people who are taught by/from the experiences of those riders.
    (Remember please that in the 1970's barry Sheene came off his WORKS Suzuki at 170mph.. in this age, road bikes are faster than that racing bike, and with more engine power).
    My comments are simply that racing techniques are to enable you to push you and your machine to the limit.. On a surface designed for good traction, good 'cambers' good vision and no kerbs, ditches, sheep fences, gravel, sheep shit etc over the surface or within feet of the road edge.
    The reason the Police roadcraft manual is 'quoted' as a bible? Is because it IS a systematic approach to driving. It is a system that doesn't operate on the 'what works for me' method. It teaches a 'correct' approach to hazzards and driving technique that has a repeatable and reliable outcome when used correctly.
    The attached clip is one I was looking for, it shows Vicki from 5th gear a racing driver, and a Police driving instructor having fun.....
    It demonstrates very well the difference between the Racing/System styles of approach to driving.

    yes i heard that ... myself esp when your in 4th gear .. mind you i got iyamaha it 400 to wheelie in 2nd gear from standing or rolling start just saw blue front mudguard dont know how i didnt flip it wasint through experiece think was just reaacted with out thinking mind you shuting trottle of gets front down does the trick ..dam that bike was quick.. and fun...
    think more fun if you dont intend to do wheelie if you go to do them usually cant do it
    I used to weelie my dads scotter just ride up to judder bar at pak n save carpark but you legs down push down lift up easy..then drag ur feet
    okay if your going slow and u can hold the bike from damaging the front end or rims. i whouldint want do on heavy bike
    my freind chould wheelie till 4 gear told me he used rear brake to smooth it out he even did on cb 750 that just got on ot
    somepeople are just gifted like that.

    This, in effect, pulls the bitches.
