I would've left it on as a battle stain.
Tomor
29-12-12, 08:17 PM
I did but got a funny look in infinity farnborough.
Fallout
29-12-12, 08:21 PM
Is that the Tomor system for knowing when to wash your trousers? Just let the poo stains build up until someone looks at you funny?

Since we don't have Job our usual run leader, give us a running update and we could head north South Wonston way and meet you there or close by. We could blast up the A272 from Loomies, hit winnal then go the King Worthy back way into South Wonston.

Spank86

Had a pillion

Coming over a bridge, about 20 mph, 2nd gear, sharp turn immediately after the bridge, slipping the clutch on the exit rear end stepped out

Coming down the hills with sharpish bends with loose wet mud in the centre of the road, accidently went over the mud and both wheels lost traction, wiggled about a bit and threatened to lowside
Tomor

If you had, neither of you would have been able to walk for a long time!
Fallout

Slipping clutch at 20mph? I noticed you downshifting mid corner a few times too. I think you need MarkH to follow you again and give you some more tips perhaps! ;)

Both incidents were 'avoidable' then? Look ahead more and plan your journey, will be a much nicer ride for you, let alone the pillion!

Never touch the clutch unless the bike is pretty much upright

Dont make the same mistake i did and follow Jobs advice, if my accident had happened with a pillion it could of been a world of hurt

You can pull the clutch in fine, it's snapping it back out that'll lock/slip the wheel if you do it in the wrong gear.

I do it loads mid corner but I wouldn't recommend it.
