Sportbike Ride Begins with a Stall

in #life6 years ago

Stalling your bike in front of people is very embarrassing and can happen to anyone no matter what your skill level is. The slightest release of pressure on the clutch lever can engage the clutch before the engine RPMs have risen and you can stall it. The more people watching increase your embarrassment. The following video shows my son behind orange jacket guy.

At 7:35 they get passed by a rider that wants to go faster than orange guy's pace. Shortly afterwards, orange guy relinquishs the lead to my son. It is very tiring to lead so the position changes often. There are 1200 members in the group we ride with and usually less than 100 show up to ride. If the group is too large then it is split up with a fast and slow group. Thanks for watching and as always enjoy your ride!

Its always a nice to top off the day with one of your videos. It gets the blood pumping. Congrats on your rep!

Thank you on the rep and for watching bladefire. 😃

Congrats on the rep! Great job! Always love the rides.

Thank you on the rep and for watching the rides. You should get your bike out and go for a ride soon. 😃

I'm going to open a burger stall on that road.

Good idea Codge but there is already a country store with cafe, and gas station there. It is where Rene met up with Keanu Reeves. 😃

1,200 members in one riding group? Wow...

Joy we are the smaller rural group as the main one in town has 3700+ members and we belong to that one too. The smaller group has cooler people and has many more rides. 😃
