Hey! Look at me! Lol, this is what happens when you give someone who wants to ride the Isle of Man a motorcycle and let them run Grattan backwards......oh well, one day I'll make it over there. Follow the link and check out the series below the picture. Josh Smith-Moore :up:

Check out the last photo in the sequence, I was laughing and grinnin in my helmet cause i was goofing around on the cool down lap and wanted to see if I could catch air. I had no idea there was a photographer, just a bunch of people at the fence. Oh well...
Some way to go before he's styling it like these guys. http://www.britishsuperbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2588
I came over that thing once with both wheels off the ground - back wheel touched first and the whole bike wobbled before the front came down and shaped things up. Nope, don't have that kind of talent!
I almost shit myself when we went up for the endurance race. I was at that part of the track on the pit bike, munching on a donut or something just relazing with the clipboard and stop watches getting ready for the riders to come around then guys start coming through and the Vesrah bike with Batey on it launches across the jump. I almost shit myself.
Yeah but Batey was going the normal direction, not reverse and I've never seen anyone get both wheels off over there that way, save for some photos.
Yeah, I've done that too! Actually, more exciting was losing the front at the end of the front straight while running it backwards! I wish the pics had been at full hight cause I got a bit higher than that. I bottomed out so hard! That's why I was laughing when I finished. Every cool road around here has huge up/down hills that I do that on all the time and I've never bottomed out like that so I know I had to have gotten higher than in the pics!
