Never get it. Could be the fact that my legs have pushed a bike pedal down prolly around 347,839,548 billion times, I have heard a yawning sound from my leg though when I have the brake pedal down for a while, you guys are just unfit... :cool:

I agree. I get the shaky leg thing after I have pushed hard racing. The adrenaline is flowing in a big fashion thanks to having the car close to its limits. Going down mountains especially.

The occurance I recall was on that big Outerlimits trip in the Watagans at the end of January. It was fairly late in the night, I was reasonably tired (head injury really plays up when I'm tired) and I had an attempt at bugger rock. I put the front wheels up on the rock, and was happy to get snatched from there, so hit the anchors. The handbrake wasn't holding real well that night, so I tried to stay hard on the brake with my right foot. While waiting for the snatch, my leg really started to bounce. Not a good feeling when you are hanging by the steering wheel, staring at the night sky above, with a bumpy drop behind you!


What were you worried about... There was a big white GQ hooked up to you there! :D

Oh... and the dodgy rag-joint wasn't the main thing on your mind??? :shock:

Once the big white GQ was hooked up I knew I was in safe hands ;) It was just before the hookup that I was a little concerned.

The rag joint didn't worry me too much while I wasn't moving. Even moving slowly I had confidence in it. The trip home in the dark on the dirt road, freeway and street was the testing point - checked it regularly and kept mighty alert on the steering wheel :!:
