What I wanted to say was, did you try sticking it in second? I find it skids in first, but not in second so much, and you have to finnese the clutch a little.
Feathered it in 1st 2nd and thought what the hell and even tried 4th bouncing rear to compress it and stop it skidding had no effect either. The fact it was persisting it down didn't help.

We got her in the van OK and no mishaps on the journey home, cept i banged my head loading her up
The batteries low on acid, topped it up and put it on charge. hopefully it'll be fine now, just an extra 10 mins in morning to hook battery back up .

Ah right. I see. It is basically impossible to bump it in the rain alright.

Time to find a central american guy with a pick up to jump it. (White guys dont seem to know about jump leads in this country.)

...or get it into a van and bump your head...

12:30 Go out for lunch
12:35 Put everything back on shelf realising i left my wallet at home in mad rush
14:00 Blag a sandwich and bag of crisps off tea-lady promising to pay tomorrow
16:00 kit up ready to go home
16:10 Walk down 4 flights of stairs cos the lifts are broken
16:15 Bikes batteries dead
16:20 Roll bike to ramp at end of elevated car-park and attempt to bump start
16:30 Give up after 6 attempts with back wheel just sliding
16:30 Push bike back up ramp and ring dad to bring transit van
16:35 Walk up 4 flights of stairs back into office to make some more time up and wait for dad.

Hopefully it'll go into the Van ( It's a transit but has rear seats in it otherwise it's getting rolled into office building and i'm leaving it here for the night.
I'll give you all but the first... 7:10 I am about at the office... Hope you get the wheels sorted though
