On One Wheel, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[2_SL0]

Yep, it happened if I wasnt so busy lining up for the corner I could say it was fun. Picture this, me toodling along, old couple in front, (holy hell, mother of slowness, someone that is slower than me in front) So I do the only logical thing , drop down a gear and nail it. Well I must of got a little carried away with the throttle hand as I went past the old couple on one wheel. Not sure who was more concerned. I tell a lie, it was def me, just about crapped myself. The wheel came down, the bars gave a little wiggle and I dived into the corner. This all happened quicker than I can say shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...........tttttttttttt. But Im pretty sure that was the word I used at the time. Where it happened is what is the tricky bit. Those who ride out Kaiawa will follow, where you turn off the straights along the coast and head back into Highway 2 (think it is). There are acouple of tight corners and a one way bridge. I was in the middle of that just before one of the corners, hehehe.

Meanwhile the old couple are thinking, "damn crazy kids on thier bikes...":rofl:

Least you didn't bin it and you know not to throttle on so hard next time.:niceone:


Oh and congrats on your next post.:Punk: You'll know what I mean.

[loosebruce]

Ah it has began............. Welcome :devil2:

[FEINT]

Congratulations !!!! I haven't even done that yet! Soon, you will be wheelie-green!

May I ask, what gear were you in? Did you back off the throttle the minute the front came up?

[Mr Skid]

May I ask, what gear were you in? Did you back off the throttle the minute the front came up?Maybe we should start a support group for all the 636 riders who can't wheelie..

[bugjuice]

was it all off the power, and you were sat right back...?
i love doing them off the clutch, much easier and much higher and much slower..

but well done mate!!!!

[onearmedbandit]

Wheelies are great, but I won't be impressed until you get it down-packed with one-hand.

[Ixion]

The GETTING UP is seldom hard. Tis the COMING DOWN that is tricky

As far as I could tell it was straight out power. dont think I was back in the seat. But I did give it a big handful :nono: . I wasnt expecting it, but it was all over in the blink of an eye. Im pretty sure it was second gear.

[Jabez]

And test riding a VTR with the wife on the back, was fun (for me anyway) leaving lights infront of cages.:)

[crazyxr250rider]

my mate in fitsroy put himself on his arse down wellington doing wheelies on his zzr1200
funny as shit But painfull exercise

[crazyxr250rider]

where did everybody go

[aff-man]

Bastards who can do it under power...... i can only get like a slight pront wheel lift if i nail it in first...... clutching is so much easier.



oh and congrats... i think.... :niceone: :rofl:

Good to see ya on a real Bike Dangerous . 3rd gear about 180k power stands is great when you pass your mate on their Vtwins shaking their heads :Punk:

Good to see you wearing all the correct protective gear for the ride D.
A shining example for all our blah blah blah blah blah arse biscuits. :drinkup:

LOL, def wont be repeating it for a while. As for the rolling stoppie, last time I did one of them I was on a BMX. :yes:

[dveus]

I'd love to have a bike that could accidently mono. Theres no way it'll happen by mistake on the GSX, takes a whole lotta clutch abuse and a fair amount of arse hanging off the back just to get the nose slightly skyward.

But you do it like it was by accident :whistle: .....

[DingDong]

You should have expected that to happen on the bike you ride, Mr Speedy

Practice on a crapped out dirt bike before you try for another gear, or you may smash that green machine :no:

I know I cant do it... and crashed many crapped out dirt bike :yes:

[2_SL0]

The whole point of riding the road bke is because I got sick of riding dirt bikes. Plus it was becoming increasingly hard to find areas to ride. I did the occasional wheelie on the dirtbike, but never really got into them. I dont plan to start now.
Just was caught off guard, it does happen.

Oh, and who is Mr Speedy, Ive never met him in here?

[bugjuice]

speedmedic? dunno if he can wheelie or not..

I managed to do my first 'almost-throttle' ballanced wheelie the other night. Went up high, and kept going, so I backed off the throttle a little, and it stayed there.. then went down. Albeit a few seconds or so, but it's higher than I've got before.. just need more practice, but way off those like Death, WT, LB, DSS3 and 'D' at the moment.. It's good fun, i love it

[Qkchk]

A 636 is born to lift... not that anyone wants it to happen to them when they least expect it tho..

Just remember to keep the back brake covered 'just incase' it happens again. At least Im in no immediate danger when it comes to the 'Busa, shes too heavy to lift up unless you order her too..

[Drew]

Ah it has began............. Welcome :devil2:

Listen to you. Anyone would think you were the wheelie king, if they read some of the stuff you post. By the way, how are your hands feeling :whistle:

[mono]

My 636 has now done 3.5k and its starting to wheelie of the throttle in 1st, 2ed, and up a hill in 3rd, and I love it...Oh how I love it. never tried it along a one way bridge next to some grays before though... very creative. :headbang:

[bugjuice]

me thinks I needs to gets more heavy handed withs me bike
the clutch way is doin me fine, but under the power, i gets the tanks slappers to visits.
Under power, is there only a slight chance of the front coming up and keep going up and up? Always afraid of that bit, when it goes up too quick to stop it.. Had that coming out of corners, I back off slightly so the back can't step out or the front rise too much..
I've read a few times that it can be done under the abuse of power. I find the clutch still so much easier and predictable, which is what I'm after at the mo. I'm gettin there..

mono, we need to switch bikes. I wanna see if a broken it 05 is as much of a wuss as the ones I've been riding before..

Sure thing Kit, I need someone to corroborate my story. :niceone:
