Re: Breakfast Club

If bills skills on a stunt bike match his recent abilities on a fifty with a scrape bar (recent falls).... we could be in for quite a show next spring haha.
But yeah, his skills on the bike and a summer of lot riding, hes gonna be good.

You don't need a handbrake to learn SS.

Re: Breakfast Club

Ive never ridden with a giant sprocket, is there a huge difference with engine brake compared to a stock sprocket?
