You can't hear his motor, the only one the microphone is picking up is mine ;)

No worries mate, any time :twisted: :kuda:

....and I've voted goose as well now because after watching it a couple more times I reckon you both hit the anchors hard (front dives) and stall it (rear locks up) at the same time, all while watching Phil the whole time...that takes talent 8)


.....and like Marty says, we've all done it, or will at some stage....the difference is there usually isn't a camera pointed straight at you when it happens

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: NOT ENOUGH REPLAYS !!!

we watched that at LEAST fifteen time in a row at the Orbost Pub !!! Much to the amusement of the thronging crowd.....(except Pinchy who was propping up Telstra's profit margin).......

I voted Goose. Its plain for all to see.....

(ps - nice work Mick - does this mean the video-nasty will be on the way soon ?? :twisted: :twisted: )

voted stall, but that was the symptom not the cause hey...... was it something amongst; rushed it, didn't head check properly, no rear brake, lack of feathering the clutch, didn't wait for rider to pass, got spooked by bike in front turning sharper than he though?

Looks like some patience wouldn't go astray! Rushing tends to lead to error ;) Hence another goose vote!
