[QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 689820, member: 16469"] Just got back from MD last night... I almost peed my pants when, true to his name, the MadEarthWorm tried to find out what was *under* the topsoil in his first 5 feet of riding! He said that someone had told him to pin it and dump the clutch so that's what he did! the bike shot straight up but he managed to wrestle it back down to the ground on its side. At this point he and the bike are on their sides and he still has the throttle pinned and they're both spinning around doing his version of moto-snow-angels! While I'm laughing, I'm also trying to yell, "Let it go!!" It reminded me of when my father (he used to teach flying) said that the best spin recovery device would be a big fist that would knock the pilot away from the controls. After that, I told him that if things got bad, to get away from bike. Once he had gotten his soil aeration exercise out of the way, he settled down to very controlled riding. He obviously has good coordination and fine motor skills (I still just pin it and dump the clutch), so I think he's going to be doing well, soon. It is so much fun to see someone else enjoy it so much. Make sure you come down when the snow sets in up there. Ivan...I stayed off the advanced track so I would be tempted to hurt myself. Lou...actually, he's the guy who used to sweep the lab at night. As you well know, gotta take what you can get! BTW, MEW...I thought Anthony was your first name?!? [/QUOTE]
