David; an accident is always a sobering experience. But what exactly IS the lesson from this one? I wasn't clear what you did to cause the wheelie. I mean if you said that you had accidentally dropped the clutch at 4,000rpm; I'd have understood. But what did you do and what's the lesson?

Spotted the Avatar and then looked at the website; Good luck and God Bless!
