wheeeelie school

[chronyx]

Anything can wheelie, chuck a tiny sprocket on the front and gear so it's doing 8000rpm at 70mph and I bet the AT couldn't keep the front wheel down

This guy seems to make it look pretty effortless and he doesn't look like a particularly big guy so I'd guess a lot to do with technique (though I'd imagine it isn't easy - I have enough trouble Uturning mine sometimes ):



There are some other videos on YouTube with people wheelying them too (but that ones my favourite - love that song).

He must really love his mrs

Yeah, you're right. Doesn't look very safe riding in shorts and t-shirt like that, and particularly irresponsible with a pillion wearing the same.

Still, I have to admit that I enjoyed the atmosphere of the video and watching it (despite the obvious safety worries - I think the music helps though).

[choobidoobi]

right-O. Im inclined to take it that this is not as easy a task as these guys make it look. And that a bit of fettling on the gear ratios might make this idiotic manoeuvre a tad easier to achieve. And, that all risks considered, I may in fact mash up my lovely bike.

Thanks Futter.

I will go and sit down and think of something less impressive to try.





Anyone ever jumped anything??

You should try the hill top at Chappell near Colchester - My soddin' Astra got air off that!

That RD04 is great - serious air that, not some piddly little jump of a few feet. I need to practise!

Thanks Futter.

Thanks - I think, my mates are far better than me - google IQ18 films and have a look at some of veggie daves films - that'll give you an idea of what we/they used to get up to.
