    Wow, I just learned something new. Rear brake to control the wheelie off the line. That is so obvious but I never thought of it in the context of racing.

    Now that I think about it, the SV really only wheelies RIGHT off the line, so unless I want to start one legged, not that helpful.

    Always start the SV one legged with the right foot on the peg

    Why did Guy pump the rear brake after putting the bike up on the stands after the final race?

    Looks like Guy is re- thinking the Bikes.
    From his website-

    Plenty of folk have been asking what I’m up to this year.

    I fancy a change of scenery. I’ve been racing the TT for 11 years. All I’ve really done since I was 18, except the trucks, is race motorbikes and my brain needs something else. Every year’s the same: testing, racing, then start again. It brought it home to me when I was lying in hospital after the Ulster Grand Prix crash. I’ve been on about the Tour Divide, the toughest pushbike race in the world, for three years and I thought I’ll blink and next thing I’ll be 45, so I’m going to do it this year. I like breaking myself mentally and the Tour Divide will be tough, but it’s same time at TT, so that’s forced me to make a choice.

    I’m not done with motorbikes. I’m attempting the Wall of Death record in the spring and having a go at the land speed record in the summer and if I do race on the roads it will be with TAS.

    After the Tour Divide I might never want to see a pushbike again – or never want to go road racing again, I don’t know. But I do know Bruce Anstey and John McGuinness are still racing the TT, and they’ve got a few years on me, so maybe I’ll come back next year. Or maybe I’ll find something else interesting to do. I’ve got more interests than just motorbikes and I just think let’s bloody have ‘em.

    Thanks very much as ever for the support. Guy.
