Had surgery on my knee yesterday, going to be in a brace for 6 weeks minimum :( Is anyone going to the MCN bike festival in Peterborough on Saturday? Going to have to see if I can get my hands on a wheel chair else I wont be able to make it around on crutches.
 
Nearly flipped my bike whilst doing a wheelie yesterday, I got to the point where I was coasting, scary... :eek: Rear brake saved me as always though. :cool:

For @Clov!s
 
Here's what the case looks like after I landed it hard after nearly flipping the bike, my mate said I was over 12 o'clock...

It works though, I can reuse this case if I take off lens protection. But, I'm still buying a new case lol.

It looks like a hard landind, it was actually one of the smoother ones. Look at the picture of my action cam, this is the result of hard landing. :p

Wishing you a speedy recovery. :)
 
You stick your knee out very far but don't lean off the bike much.

You get half your arse off the seat but if you get your chin towards the handle bar end and your torso over a bit then you can carry a lot more speed around corners without leaning the bike as far.

I did later, this was first few rounds, its really uncomfortable on the SV to position yourself properly. Look at my signature, I lean off the bike more.

I have signatures turned off. I used to ride an SV, and never had a problem with leaning off comfortably.
