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

No worries mate, any time

....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


.....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

I would guess it would be what happens when you are rushing let the clutch out a bit too much & stall bummer really

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 ?? )

Not for a little while yet, still a lot of work to do but I'm getting there

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!

I was hanging to see that...

was he trying to take off before Phil, the former and much resepected Road Captain of the %$@#, thats a no-no without prior approval

Nah, looks it's embarressing, but weve all done embarressing things, let's not humiliate the poor little bloke !...or not

But hey Mick, youve gotta be happy 'someone else' crashed instead this year

I can sympathise with you Pinchy.....I came so close to doing the same thing this afternoon...I will never attempt a u-turn on an incline again...I don't know how the hell i saved it all I can remember as it happend so quick was me thinking don't grab the brake and kinda road it out.......I honestly almost shat myself .....

Now THAT would be a video with a lot of discussion!

ive saved mine a couple of times too as the weight just wants to fall when u get onto full lock...

just with the fucken huge bag and tent n what not on the back meant i couldnt hold it

It was just luckyy I was coming out of a funny type driveway and turning left ......If it was with my right knee (which just had a reco) I'd have been farked.....I was 1/2 a second away from just letting go....
