Season opener oops

Well, now that the season is over I can post a little oops from the Quinte TT.
Lesson learned however... No more last second clutch adjustments b4 the race start. I blame it on the newbie vest! For those who missed it. :oops:

Hey Noodles, I almost did that at the LAST race of the season. The trick to keeping the bike up though is excessive use of elbows (flapping), immediately followed by a technique used by 125-250 GP racers....run really fast down the front straight while still in the saddle. When the bike is finally under control, watch the other bikes entering turn two and realize there is no way to catch them and enjoy the scenery.

Thing is, the bike never had any fwd momentum. Essentially, it was a 8000rpm clutch dump... it just popped straight up, in fact, I think I actually landed behind my grid starting spot. I've said it b4, it'll never happen again!
