Default Re: Stopping/slowing with the clutch in. Bad form?

I should come up and teach the northerners. I am by far the fastest of the GM lot. I know this looking at the puncture on my rear tyre that was clearly made by a grain of dust, the hole is so small. How else could a grain of dust puncture my tyre unless I hit it at mach 10?

I suspect it was flicked off the rear tyre of either mine or nathans bikes as we flew past you one time.

It's the logical explanation, clearly mach 10 was the collision speed as you've so rightly noted but having seen everyone ride it's far more likely that the dust was the speeding particle than that you managed to actually get your bike to move forward without something breaking/leaking/falling off/sticking shut.

DRAG RACE! DRAG RACE! DRAG RACE! In a 30 zone, when a school is kicking out! What you chicken? Bok bok bok. Don't forget your Boudica wheel blades.

... think I'm getting carried away.

Yes, clutch out. Engine braking. Good form.

Thats not who's quickest, just who's got the most power.

If you want to live your life a quarter mile at at time be my guest but what we really need is a proper race track.

this all sounds like an IOM get together to wave our weaners at each other is in order.

Could do, but mine looks a lot smaller when it's not digitally enhanced

Fallout, we've been here before. The puncture was clearly caused by a mistimed overtake from a following mosquito....


Oh and if you plan your bends you should have done all your slowing down malarkey well early and be hard on the gas much sooner!

I would love a IOM minitwin race But I would have to divorce the missus to do it with out her killing me, and that would cost too much, and childsupport for 3 kids until they are 18(eldest is 3), I'm not stingy with cash, but there's a limit, I'm backing out of this one *nod head* Good day to you gents. When everyone else is ready for it let's meet up at a german minitwin race with roadbikes that's been raceprepped. Then I'm in, the missus will even cheer for me.
