...off the line

"...off the line"

What is know as, "getting off the line" at the start of a race.

Leonard and Ronny "...off the line" with onlookers checking them out.

Looks like Leonard got a little too much torque out of the 305cc Honda motor when he "dumped" the clutch.
That caused the front wheel to kick up 10 0r 15 inches. Look closely and you can See Leonard's boots not quite touching the ground. Leonard has a very concentrated look on his face, powerful (forearm muscles buldging) grip on the handlebars and leaning forward, shifting his weight to counter the motorcycle from flipping.

Leonard was "light on his feet", a natural born stunt man.
