jollygiant Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 This is what happens is you take an older Factory Tuono, on roads the rider doesn't know and throw in a RSV4 with a rider that knows the roads. But the Tuono rider won't let the fact there is a 60hp difference get in the way and gives it a handful but the RSV4 rider rolls off coming out of a corner thinking he needs to slow a bit for Tuono to catch up!! [media=] Getting away with it since...... And yes they slowed down after that!! (Mainly because the inside of my his boots was squelchy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalamityMel Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ahh, there's a lesson there somewhere and the main thing is that the rider took something away from it, and no.. The lesson wasn't that you need to rob a bank to visit the teashop afterwards Just noticed the indicator wobble as it caught :-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcaztls Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 My God!!! Superior brake control there Jolly! I've had a Tuono crash TWICE behind me, same rider, same bike, different days because he didn't have that level of "It's locked up, let it off" control so fair play there fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadtheBall Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Target fixation and an almost locked front wheel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollygiant Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nope. I gave it a big handful and I didn't expect him to roll off, I was too close and the front locked twice... I'm not getting into a shit slinging over this I put it on as a 'Oh fawk that was too close!' not what went wrong and who's fault cos it was mine. As I said in my original post.... Edit to add thanks Marcatls It was proper screech both from the front tyre and my bum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
