I'm driving my van yesterday from silverdale down to the north shore and a guy comes past me on an R1 with a full race fairing, no lights at all, looked like it was on slicks and pops a standing wheely for about 250meters up the motorway.
Man it looked cool, but did he want to be in jail or what?

He's got some balls... Did it have a fake plate or nothing?

I saw a 996 same sorta look, but he had a headlight protector over his headlights so looked like race fairing, also helped when it was all painted black, he was on semi slicks.

I was on semi slicks when i first got on my 1100 but they didn't agree with my gravel road.

But yest i think he was looking for jail

[Motoracer]

Do you actually get jail time for doing this?

On Sunday when Mr Melon and I were out for a ride a rider going the other way popped a wheelie as he rode past me, he was going up hill too...would that make it more difficult? Sorry I don't know what he was riding b/c I'm still learning that stuff but I was impressed - is that like a BIG wave? :rolleyes:

Loved the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Solarwind! :laugh:

[White trash]

Uphill's a bit easier actually.

Dude was just saying hi. Don't know who it might of been, was it a silver bike?

Oh ok, thanks for the info - I thought it would be more tricky to get back down going uphill, he did a bit of a wobble upon hitting the road again.

I was too busy grinning & dropping my jaw to wave...I hope he didn't think I was a snob! Nope it wasn't sliver, it was a blue/black, I think I've seen him before zooming up Victoria St and he popped a wheelie that time too.

Woo hoo! Ya think I'm in :banana: If only I could catch him!

Ask Kasper if he'll lend you some of his handcuffs :Police:

[Dave]

No headlights, no lights anywhere-proper fibreglass race fairing in light colored primer. No numberplate.
And yes, doing a wheely on a bike like this,while speeding probably would get you locked up!

Like a big wank, - dont be impressed by this shit on the road, it it what puts up your ACC levy, your insurance, and makes cops look for bikes, and put others off ever trying the bike lifestyle because they think it is dangerous because they saw a dick head pulling wank stunts like this

ACC levys ain't put up with stunts, its with crashes. Cops are just doing their job, pulling stunts wont make MOST of them hate bikers. Heck some even have a laugh about it (being secretly impresssed) while giving a ticket.

I can't relate to your last claim at all cause I would have thought, people would want to get in on the action after seeing all the excitment.



Anyway, its just different opinions I guess :whocares:

What, because you can't get it up :whistle: everyone that does is a wanker?

C'mon 'Bunny, each to their own.

Oh you speak with such eloquence Bunny...not :shutup:

Any real biker is impressed by a well performed stunt, however in cases where others are endangered it is irresponsible. I'm not sure if in this case it was dangerous but rather foolish because the bike wasn't road worthy?

ZedProbably very roadworthy - just not road legal!

Did you get my point though SPman?

Now, now, Ms Bondage thats not showing tolerance to others opinions and freedom of choice in entertainment. Wheelies don't put up ACC levies or insurance, thefts and crashes do. The ACC/LTSA stats have proven most bike crashes involve a car not seeing a bike - which means doing a wheelie makes you more visible and therefore safer. Shit hot, more weird logic to justify having fun. I haven't come across anyone who didn't enjoy the sight of a wheelie and after years of hanging with riders that wheelie I can't recall seeing anyone crash - apart from dirt bikes of course.

[Skyryder]

And yes, doing a wheely on a bike like this,while speeding probably would get you locked up! or dead.

Food for thought BB. I guess b/c I'm such a newbie it does impress me but yeah you're kinda right that it's dangerous "on road".

[speedpro]

Years(and years and years and years) ago I used to race a Z1 with every good bit you could buy including genuine Moriwaki F1 cams, Keihin smoothbores and basically everything. About twice a year I'd put the headlight and tail-light on and take it to Puhoi. Nothing electrical worked except the ignition. Two up it would effortlessly wheelie as I passed rows of cars. I had another Kawasaki 900 which was registered so used to fit that plate. Used to go on the back roads thru Helensville or Riverhead Road. It was very deceptive looking and a few GS1000 and CB900 riders had their egos dented when we blew past them two-up :buggerd: . All good fun but I think more people would frown on those antics nowadays, or maybe it's just that I move in less hoon-like circles now.

If it's good fun and doesn't hurt anybody, and isn't likely to, then it probably isn't worth getting too worried about.

Daves probably just jealous coz he cant do it on his 125 :laugh:

What is it about wheelie's? It gets us all going one way or the other. A good wheelie always gets my attention. Last w/e a couple of us were heading to a rally. I was next to a mate on a Bussa, as we were leaving a 60kph zone into a 100kph. I looked at my mate, he looked back, we both had this stupid dumb grin on our faces.......well you know whats next. We wack the taps open the bussa edging forward so I biff it down a gear into 2nd and wack that tap open again and weeeeeeeeee heeeee up she comes (dident exepct it cos I havent had the VTR 1000 for that long) sat beside him for a wee while almost in the red (the gear change indercator :whistle: ) before sitting it down again well of course the Bussa then rolled on from the idel and pissed of on me :doh: how thick do ya have to be to take a Bussa on BUT it had to be done aye, anyhow Suzy Q was behind us and she said it looked impresive to her (as she shakes her head)

[Coldkiwi]

i'd have to guess that any bloke on an R1 racebike on the road probably doesn't have any intention of hanging around any cop whether he's popping a wheelstand or not. if he's got no plate then they have to catch him to prosecute and I'd put money on any litre race bike on slicks getting away!! (shouldn't own a bike like that if he can't blow off the HP with that sort of machinery advantge)
