Practice makes you perfect, but pushing it to the limit & trying to master control makes you a champion.

Review at 6:35 in the video.

Try to practice the basics, come in fast, raise your body up & back brake a little by backing it in on the back tire till you reach the apex like a super moto rider & then straighten up & exit

Which classification?
He started racing way back in the 50s riding solo. Riding local circuits and the TT. He really made his name as the rider on the sidecar. He won the TT a couple of times, but sadly crashed and him and the guy in the chair, Kenny, were killed on the TT in 1978. Faulty piece of the road they never repaired before the race took him out. As you can guess, I am extremely proud of him.

I know a guy who races British Superbike in the 300 class, plenty of club racing as well on board super twins. He is younger than I am, but on a whole different level when it comes to riding. He would ride A group trackdays for practice on his SV 650 and be a good 5 or more seconds quicker than the people on the liter bikes.

I can relate to it. I too lost a good friend Tomi on track in 2010
