On my old F2 style TZ750 I used to line up on the grid so that I had a clear path about 10 degrees to the left of straight ahead because when I nailed my start the front wheel was off the ground and that was where we were going. :shock: Front wheel usually re-acquainted itself with the pavement after the 1-2 shift allowing me to adjust our trajectory. My new(ish) F1 just goes straight (or lights up the tire and just sits there), relatively boring by comparison. :lol:

Passenger error, get him (or her) to lean forward over the tank to give you a bit more weight up front, if he gets the feel for the bike you can spin the wheel and get grip as he moves back.
