Did my first stoppie...

Post by kilika2 »

Or indy or whatever you want to call it. A guy turned in front of me and I grabbed a handful of 8 piston caliper. Didn't lock it up but I brought the back end up about 3 feet. It probably looked cool but it wasn't intentional. He stopped I stopped and I let her back down dropped into first and tootled away. And then the adrenaline kicked in hahah.

Oh well it was a good experience to have to help reapect my motorcycle.

Pucker moments are always the best teachers, as long as you don't lose your meddle.

You should have topped it off with a killer wheelie burn out. :rofl:

Glad you made it out of that ok, :cheers:

That will prepare you for Track Days... New riders will grab a whole lot of brake going into corners and if you're behind them, expect to be riding on your front wheel a lot.

Glad to hear that it didn't go wrong!
