I had a snoop, here's a safe link (I think):

filecabi.net/t/hotlink7n****v6sj/1116889473.wmv

But you'll need to copy and paste as PHPBB doesn't want to play ball linking correctly.

Is that what they call a crash course?

Ouch! Damage to the bike seemed quite extensive given the relatively minor crash.

I remember when i had my SV my dad wanted me to teach him. So i talked him through it step by step. He was going to move the bike in a straight line for about 5 meters.

Clutch in, 2nd selected (to prevent against what happened in that vid) then he wound in god knows how many RPM.. the sound of the can scared him and he couldnt shut off, he was kinda frozen. Thankfully he had presence of mind NOT to dump the clutch but wait for me to turn the engine off. Phew!

Talking of bike crashes... i found this. Sorry if its been posted before, but i beleive it deserves more airtime. I think its Randy Mamola. VERY impressive!

GYKD...I am open to be corrected but I think that is none other than the Roman Emperor himself in his 250 days.
