Think! Bike.

It's that kind of reckless attitude towards life that gets people into trouble.

It is used when braking and downshifting simultaneously (prior to entering a turn), and allows the driver to "blip" the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear.

And you drive an i10.

You don't appear to be able to read, or alternatively you live in a little world entirely of your own. What does performance driving have to do with transport as 'contact sport' and staying off the road if you can't bear to see a motorcyclis killed?

I do indeed drive an i10. Do you want a cookie to celebrate your ability to look up other posts?

I apologise. I thought you only sounded like an idiot. Now I know that you are indeed the genuine article.
