But you did recover it.
That's the thing about four cylinder sport bikes, they have very little crank shaft weight so when the tire breaks traction the engine will spin up like crazy.
It's possible to get one to fish tail out, leave a little tire smoke and a black stripe, but you don't do it half leaned over, like Rich did, popping the clutch with a fist full of throttle, like Rich did. That's a recipe for getting spanked, like Rich did.
BTW, Rich is a tard.
