IIRC that footage is French and a total setup with a stuntman involved. It done the trick though and got publicity and folk talking about it. I'm sure I have seen the alternative footage of that which shows the rider landing on crash pads.

Yup, I thought about that this morning. Starter runs in gear with SS up and clutch pulled in. Can't actually test it in the house as it needs to be fully warmed up before the clutch plates disengage. Here's hoping...

New rear tyre on the Storm. Ran up the R6 and, yes, it does run in gear (with the sidestand up). And, finally, got invited to the first few days of the Classic TT. Never been to the IoM before so that should be a blast. A good day so far.

You're all mean & nasty, apart from Rob. He appreciates the correct colour choice and isn't jealous!
