A graceful dismount! Please tell more or post a vid if you have one.

No vid, I did manage to come off the bike and get back on it again before it stopped moving, only to have the Instructor grab the front brake and pitch me over the bars. Luckily it wasn't fully, only as far as the clocks.

Would have been worth £250 back in the day.

Oh no, sounds like you injured yourself when you gracefully dismounted

Nope, all fine on that one.

Got caught by the bars when landing another wheelie slightly crossed up.
Broke my thumb.

This motorbike stuff is a bit dangerous, glad I stuck myself in the novice group.

Good fun this wheelie school thing. I found rolling one lots easier.
Only scared myself once....forgot what I was told about the back brake 🙈😄 haven’t used that in years. Recovered it so all good.

Hope thumb feels better soon Si.
