Thank christ is was in nuetral and didn't go speeding off. It took me a bit to regain my composure though, I was damn near falling over laughing for a good 5 minutes.

yeah you wouldn't have gone far if that bike was in gear... It on the other hand... would have done somersaults down the street.

250's you don't need to worry about that... you still need to respect it... but it's not gonna throw you off the back. hence why we recommend them to new riders so strongly.

so when are you think'n you'll be on two wheels?
