Much more power through the back wheel you need to ride hard and power out of trouble mate this comes with confidence. Keep going mate will get there😎👍
Stay up it Tom keep practising i was lucky to grow up on dirt bikes at a young age followed through into road bikes then Harley’s has helped so much with the dirt bike experience transfers into road riding love the bike
Thanks mate. Yea I really regret not doing it at an early age. It's probably 50 times harder to learn when your an old bugger like me. But it's still awesome fun. 👍😊👌
If you live where it snows, you learn that when going up slippery hills, NEVER SLOW DOWN !!! Did you drive in the snow when you lived in Massachusetts ?
Sure you’re getting all the annoying suggestions- you are pushing those tyres beyond what’s their sweet spot, your mate on the Beta just has it way easier because rubber alone. Weight over the back axle to maximise the contact patch, of course we want to be up over the bars so the front doesn’t come up but without traction there’s no forward motion anyway. It’s all going to become muscle memory. Get Doubletake mirrors of course. Most of all thank heaven you’re not cutting your teeth on that F800. You’re doing great Tom. Clear to see you’re loving it.
Your exactly right mate. I also think its muscle memory. I am learning a complete new way of standing on a bike. I am loving it mate. It's soo much fun.
More Drama than an episode of Eastenders 🤣🤣 keep going Tom loving these trips 👍
Thanks mate. They are so much fun. I love it.
Nothing makes you feel more alive. 👍👍👌😊.
I hope your all well.

Wowzers! You deffo need to get yourself some more off road/knobbly tyres, that will help for sure

Hi Tom, Kim thanks for taking the time to catch up. Lived to meet and share a beer or two. Hopefully catch up again.
Definitely mate. That was great fun.
Looking forward to next time. Let's arrange some biking sometime in the future. 👍👍
Tom, if the handlebar touches the ground, thats an off!😊
Another great ride in the hills. Like your new way of stopping!
Momentum is your friend, you don't want to stop half way up a hill, you literally have to gun it to regain momentum
Hi Tom well be in Wanaka on Friday if your around
Hi mate. I will be working all day. Big day tomorrow. But will be at the lake bar at 5.

Ooh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends!
