I've not got sound in the office but did he let the clutch out too fast and lock the back wheel? Although even that's pretty impressive on a 125.

I lock up the wheel on the SV a lot, especially in the wet. Yesterday, I had too much lean angle and binned it a bit too quickly... nearly high sided. It was one of those oh **** moments.

TallPaul_S · 8 Jun 2016 at 12:51

Looks like he locked up the front wheel?

IC3 · 8 Jun 2016 at 12:56

But the Bus used the brakes ages ago, he had lots of time to react. He wasn't even going that fast...

Fireskull · 8 Jun 2016 at 13:01

LOL that video I don't even know whats going on, locked up the front and down he goes

- does look like he hits a bump just as he is braking, maybe skinny 125 wheels and wet, inexperience and lost grip.

I'd laugh but I did exactly the same on my YBR but in my defence it was icy and my front brake was sticking due to me being a little too liberal with a rubber mallet trying to get a heated grip on and pushing the lever up against the switch gear which I didn't notice until I was setting off to get my end away and therefore it became a "**** it, I'll work round it" problem

I forgot to work round it the next morning.

I've never locked the front but the rear will slide quite easily on greased roads.

The few times I've managed to really do it the people in the car behind me must think WTF!? as my arse end is snaking down the road.

What the hell? A small guy got panned.

Yaayuh! · 8 Jun 2016 at 19:40

^ Hahahaha!!

What's that guy's problem? Glad he got his arse handed to him

TallPaul_S · 8 Jun 2016 at 19:43

I love the fact that he was so eager to beat up the biker his car drove off on it's own

Should have roosted the car with rocks and dust after that

First vid from this year... more to follow.

Noob question, what does 'BTG' stand for? I've seen this on nearly all track videos e.g.
