Seem a great idea. I might try these soon. Thanks for the tips and stuff.

contrary to what the examiners of the test believe you have much more control over the clutch and bike at the same time if you're used to doing this

this is what dropping the clutch on a trials bike does.. (this bike is a 4 banger most trials are 2 stroke)

Heh, you thought road bikes accelerated well. Trials bikes do that vertically

I always thought the front wheel was for steering when in contact with the road.
Presumably none of this is of any benefit when riding on the public highway?????

When hitting a crest at full throttle it is useful to know what to do when you're suddenly looking at the sky.

See, practicing wheelies is an essential part of advanced riding.
