I have to get myself along sometime, it's been a while, and may not be able to make it at all, after September.

If that doesn't work, you might need to bounce the front wheel to persuade it to come up, if it still doesn't work, lean back

I used to take my Hayabusa fairly regularly. You can do a uturn in less than two parking spaces there. Less than 1 1/2 if you're really on your game.

The RC track over at the stadium is good value also. The hairpin is gnarly but possible.

I think it's actually been closed down now.

I'm finding in 1st taking her up to about 7k, cutting the throttle and then bringing it quickly back up to 5-7 again works ok for now.

Remote controlled car race track in the carpark of the stadium.

Guess I'll have to man up a bit and just give it a go, the wheelies I mean.
I just always have that vision of the bike just doing a nice back flip...

That's because you've got a 600

. I've heard tapping the rear brake compresses the front forks and you use the rebound to pop you up. Useful for your bike, if you did that on a lams bike I don't know how far you'd get lol. I run up to about 20k, lean back, pull clutch, roll on gas and drop. Seems to work okay but I still have some difficulty keeping it up (yeah that's right haha).

If the weather isn't as crap as they say it will be, I'll certainly give it a go tomorrow.
That video was pretty helpful but indeed not sure how that will work with my 125cc, 9hp bike

Hey guys,

So I don't have you all on Facebook, but it's my birthday on Wednesday so I've decided to nap the NASS time spot and have dinner and drinks at Bar Africa, starting around 6:30pm. It would be cool if you guys could come along.
We should still be there by the time you finish NASS anyway so can see you then too!!

I'm getting OLD.
