    the good thing about a gixxer 750.....wheelies don't require clutch....just give her a handful....

    now getting off the line would be good to see......

    my zxr is running a tzr 250 clutch....due to me killing the zxr clutch well the friction plates....so i put some tzr ones in it (3ma) it's awesome now, the old clutch had slipped since i got the bike

    bites very goodling

    Mark.. first off.. glad you're alive...

    second.. i dont know how old you are but im guessing still a teen.. you are a tit.. but if i remember when i was a teen .. we were all tits.. i completely fucked a 1985 Honda Nighthawk 650 that i had bought brand new for my first bike by being a tit. i was trying to keep up with the Ninja 650's and Vmaxes of the day and i had my share of fuckups .. everyone on here can say the same thing ..

    i dont know you from Adam bro, but it seems like you dont learn from you mistakes.. mistake #1 being Ego.. you are NOt Rossi, you are NOT Ray Clee.. you are a LEARNER and you should remember that.

    go take a BRONZ course.. take an Advanced Rider course from John Wright or Passrite.. go do a few track days..

    DONT downshift in a corner.. use more back brake to act as a rudder crank it over and work the throttle .. look where you WANT to go and shell come right .


    or sell your bike and get a WRX with a Cessna wing on the back and a cofe can muffler.... you'd fit right in..

    from what i hear of your behaviour on a bike .. it wont be long before you undercut someone or cause a crash and someone will deal to you..

    for the 50 billionth time i did not shift mid corner...i shifted before the corner and had started to lean it over just after then it juddered....i know i fucked up.....i did not say i didn't

    and gareth i went past that car and then slowed to wait for you guys you guys did not catch up....so i went to the left lane so the car could go past...and they still sat at 60 anyway

    you ride your ride mate ill worry about mine......and wheelies are dangerous what if a pedestrian had crossed the road...bloodey hard to see them when youre pulling a wheelie

    You are welcome to your own opinion, however there is more to the whole Speedie/Mark thing than you may be aware, you are new here and may not know the whole story.and it has nothing to do with what Speedie does for a job.

    Come on folks, give the lad a break. If there's anyone around here who didn't ride like a crazy loon at his age, put your hand up.

    He stuffed up a corner. It's not a capital crime. Others have done it before him.

    Mark's said that he's open to advice. But don't let's make it a personal thing, OK.

    Cool

    Oh Mark...... what are we going to do with you my lad....

    Ok I have been thinking about this...
    On any rides that I am on, that you are also on.....
    You, young man are to stay riding behind me... at a safe distance.
    That way you will keep your speed down and learn to ride better..
    The reason I say that, is by going slower you will learn the corners better.
    Sure you wont be following my lines as I ride a cruiser and as we all know crusier's take a different line to a sportsbike.

    If you pass me at all, that I will slap your hand real hard... or it could be a boot up the tush......
    So it looks like Im gonna have to go on a few Thursday night rides...
    it wont be every one.... but on those night's Mark, if I am there, you will remain riding behind me. No more playing silly buggars out there on the road young man....

    Mark, we all want you to survive out there on the roads......
    none of us want you to have a accident....... or get badly injured
    (including speedie)

    But unless you start to listen to people and learn from your mistakes....
    something is gonna happen.

    Mark, when you pass a car you dont then go and slow it down...
    even if the driver has pissed you off..... shite they can take you out real fast by just nudging your bike....

    You are only 19 years old... still a long way to go in growing up and riding properly.

    Growing up means listening and learning.....

    Wow! Mark said something intelligent and sensible.

    I'm not taking a dig at anyone, but you should all shut up and worry about your own riding ability. If Mark doesn't learn in time then fate will make a final decision for him and that will be the end of that and you can all say "I told him so".

    If someone does something dangerous that you do not apreciate, don't ride with them!

    Regardless of what anyone says, Mark will still be a fuckwitt and do stupid things on his bike.

    Mark.. i wasnt there and i've never ridden with you. i never said you shifted or didnt .. you said you wanted advice and thats the worst thing learners fuck up on.. just thought i'd toss a bit of hard-won knowledge to you but if you are gonna get all pissy about it .. then you need to learn the way the rest of us did .. i just hope you dont take anyone with you when you do..

    asshole shit in traffic gives every one of us a bad look.. that includes wheelies where there is the possibility of cross traffic or pedestrians ..
