Up Hill Battle & Wheelies

[Pterodactyl_imp]

You are right 'Birds. In third, if you are up at the 5000 mark the CB has plenty of pull. And it is going quite quickly in that configuration. Too quickly for a hairpin bend on a steep hill so if you back off without changing down before the corner entry the RPM will die off. That's what happens. I suspect this is what might be termed "pilot error".

Cheers
