Wheelie

--- Quote from: "skip" ---I've never had the brass to get the front wheel more than a couple inches off the floor. It's the thought of binning a bike I can't afford to replace. I'm pretty good at it with the works tractors though, and the wheeled excavator does great stoppies. :lol:

Old propane forklift in Canada was good for that. Get it just right and you could get it onto the forks and do alsorts.

Wheelies used to scare the crap out me untill i bought a TL1000 OMG that thing only had 2 wheels so you could park the thing with out it falling over! Excellent Bike........ Only got worse from there GSXR 750 Sold it before I Killed my self, Bought myself a nice quiet zx9r for some touring,..........Best of both worlds but does like second gear mono's out of round abouts traffic and road conditions allowing :oops:

i was once talking to a bloke in a wheelchair who had had the miss fortune to be hit by a car while himself and his wife were out riding i forget what speed he was doing but it was not his fault, they had been slpit for 8 months one being cared for at her mums and the other at his mums he didn't think he would walk again and his wife was paralised and could't talk but only in one word answers.  this memory will unforunately stay with me it has done for around 15 years, i hate motorbikes and we have idiots round us that pull out infront of rangie (one just missed us yesterday needless to say he had some verbal) all the protection he had on was a helmet and a t-shirt and jeans trainers i forgot to say the guy and his missus were both wearing full leathers and helmets and proper boots they probably would not have suuvived otherwise as it had took nearly all his muscle and skin off the leg he had skidded on

i have had the rangie on two wheels trying to keep up while out green laning now i just go at either the speed limit or a speed which i am comfortable which one is legal
