Be Good

Chod

p.s.

I just aim to put the right foot down..........................that's right as in corrrect if you catch my wossaname:rob
 
just to add one more (fm previous), you use your left foot so should something go wrong you will fall to the pavement not into the road

We're in to six pages now Andres ... I quit, I'm out, you'll not hear another thing from me on this goddam thread, I hereby promise ... :thumb

:beerjug:
 
Actually, this thread does remind me of a time when, 3 years ago in Trieste I stopped at set of lights and put my right foot down, into a very deep camber.

When my foot eventually hit the deck I was just beyond the point at which I could keep the fully loaded GS upright and could feel the bike slowly but inexorably going over.

Meanwhile a guy was walking past on the pavement. In a state of panic my limited grasp of Italian escaped me and all I was able to do was scream AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! at him.

All credit to him, after initially jumping 10ft in the air he regained his composure and as quick as a flash ran over and grabbing my shoulder put all his weight into pushing me back upright.

Not sure what the moral of the story is...........................

Die thread die :pullface

You know I really thought that last post would tip it over onto page 7............
 
I cant believe I missed this debate.


I do as I was tought to do.......Ye goode olde hendon shuffle.........


Drummed in untill it could be recounted verbatim.

Back in the days before two way radio was common,when I did me advanced bike test......we had to remember everything in case we were questioned on it at the end.

No it wasnt the good old days ,it was hell...........

After a 1hr followed drive you get asked ....................explain your positioning at the second roundabout....:blast

Trying for Page 7

Sometimes I ride my Triton - left foot brake
Somedays I ride my GS - right foot brake
Sometimes I ride my Norton - left foot brake
Sometime I ride my K series - right foot brake
Sometimes I ride my BSA - left foot brake

I change gear a lot with the brakes and can lock the back wheel with gentle downward changes. :blast Which foot should I use ? :nenau

Surely 8 Pages can't be done........................................:augie
