or using a wheelie bar if your drag racing.

Or by not sucking at throttle and clutch control.

What sucks about this thread is that it's yet another stupid "OMG 600CC BIKE N00B LOL!!!!" thread that could just as easily be a "OMG 80CC BIKE N00B LOL!!!!" thread.

A crazy donkey is a crazy donkey, regardless of displacement. Rev the engine high, drop the clutch, and shake hands with pavement. And I don't mean the Slanted and Enchanted guys.

Not really. If you read about track racing and their techniques when starting you will find they have to either take off by feathering the clutch or by using the back brake to prevent the front wheel from comming up and losing speed. Both techniques have their pros and cons. It is basically rider preference...

Motorcyle clutches don't burn up like auto clutches if you don't regulate it properly. Bike clutches are built to be in the friction zone as long as necessary.

So what you're saying is... by not sucking at throttle and clutch control.

geeeez that sucks

I know i've accidentally lifted the front end on my XL185 and on my 500F(tho not really that far). Just looks like a case of bad throttle ontrol and lack of adequate instruction....

Tho did anyone notice that although he was wearing a helmet, he never tied it down and secured it to his head? You can see the strap hanging there before he takes off. Not incredibly smart.

Hopefully his roadrash isnt too bad and he will refrain from hurting himself in the future

A couple of weeks ago I rode a 600cc bike for the first time. I get moving and slammed it into second like it was one of the dirtbikes I used to ride.

It's amazing how fast you can react when a bike goes "HI!"
