Almost Flipped It!

Was out 2day practising wheelies and i clutched it up in 1st and it came up real high! like past BP I think, was gotta be almost at 12 or so i was told, came up high and i panicked and chopped the throttle came down hard and the engine braking threw me over the front and went down should have tappe teh back brake then pulled clutch in i know! but i never expected it, I broke my engine case and oil was evrywhere, so much for my r&g mushrooms! need a engine cage.

I guess you have to expect this kind of thing whilst in the learning stages,it aint put me off though soon as my bikes fixed i'll be back out.

Good to get that stuff over with early. I did the same thing last summer. Bought a cage and a little fiddy practice bike. Now its all easy,
PM sparks and ask him which bits of advice helped out - he's ripping now after just a few hours on the big bike.
