“You need to pick a line, approach steady, then accelerate slightly as
you go in, keeping your weight at all times over the back mudguard.
“By accelerating you keep the front wheel light and it will then float
over the gaps, while the rear suspension wIll deal with the holes and
the positive thrust of the accelerating rear wheel will keep it up as well.”
with this instruction in mind, German journalist Frank and myself had a
go at the tyre pit. Frank went first, he didn’t just accelerate, he pinned the
throttle… Too much of course, so he skittered, slewed sideways then had
to chop the throttle at which point the front dropped into a tyre and he
pitched over the bars.
“Too fast,” said Taddy dryly.
