oh dear.
Fast pull away turned into "numpty alert" today.
Hoisted front wheel a considerable height, felt arse-cheeks clench, pulled in clutch.
Revs sky-rocket, forks *BOUNCE*, clutch comes out, front wheel now overhead.
Trouser browning moment, saved only by pulling in clutch, unfortunately revs are now on red-line, *BOUNCE* !! this is getting silly, approaching my turn, land crossed up, but luckily manage another hoist that stops the bloody 2-wheeled kangeroo from running off into a hedge !!!!
*BOUNCE*. Grrrrrr ! new leathers please.

RED FACE !!! but hilarious afterwards.

Any of you guys ever done similar? this is my first clutch f**kup in 50,000 miles of riding.

Similar experience when I'd just got my first "big bike" (600) years ago. Pulled up at traffic lights on Brighton sea front towards the end of a bank holiday monday run outside a large boozer full of Angels/Sinkies, The two mates I was with were turning right to go home and I was going seperate way straight on, says goodbyes my lights change so pull away with the intention of giving it a bit of noise, too much clutch , front wheel skyward off down road all crossed up with brown trail out the back, whole Pub opposite turns round cheers and claps and two mates look at each other open jawed with the conversation going

mate1: "fcuking hell Mel's got the hang of that quick"
mate2: "errrrr I'm not sure he intended that to happen"

I wanted to die of embarrasment but was assured later that it actually looked the part even if it was accidental.
