Wheelie missions, any1 keen?

[Motoracer]

Larriken and crew are coming this Saturday so I wana upgrade my skills by busting out some new moves. Anyone keen to do some late night wheelie and stoppie runs on the motorway? (I'm talkin about when it gets real quiet at about 11-12 or so at night) I won't really wana bother if it's wet cause getting wet in this cold is asking to get a cold/flu (which sux big time!).

Maybe not tonight but possibly Wed or Thursday night??

Details to be discussed via PMs.

Lemee know, Chur

Huh?? Volly ball net? What does that have to do with anything?

Once you can roll a stoppie, you can try it at just about any speed. Doesn't really make a difference. Unless it's above 150kmph, then I won't be able to tell you from experience.

Which one is safer, 50k zones where there might be people around or a deserted motorway with no sign of life at night?

[Postie]

no sign of life

your right dude, go for it :rockon:

[ManDownUnder]

It is just me or does it seem strange to do this stuff on the most heavily monitored/filmed pieces of road in the country?

It's like the guy that got arrested for dealing drugs at the Casino when it first opened. There must have been more cameras per square foot than anywhere else in town.

No to drugs... no to drugs.

Hey Postie - if you get bored with the stoners, it's always fun to point at the headlights of a car and tell them to run between the two motorbikes... Darwinism at it's finest (but again - don't do it on the motorway... the cameras...)

[The_Dover]

hey, if your all going to say no to the drugs can you send them to me?

[Rossi Gal]

sounds like they a bunch of girlies MR..too scared for the motorway...gee wiz

Yea... fuck, it's beyond my understandings... Oh well, it'd be a pretty boring place if everyone was the same.

Anywho... If only they were more like you. Other than being a hottie and all, you sure can ride your bike! :ride:

[R6_kid]

i would be keen but as my clutch is rooted i wont be getting them up anywhere near the speed limit, unless i manage to hook second from a 50kmh roll on in first.

OI sudeep wanna take me around on the back of your bike on saturday for some two up wheelies? I need my bike fix bad its been over a month now....

[Postie]

i'm all for wheelies on the motor way, but stoppies when you have traffic donig 110+ towards you, you wouldn't want to be using your own bike, thats for sure.

[ManDownUnder]

I sure am - I know where most of the bus drivers buy their licences...

[ManDownUnder]

Sure - caffeine or aspirin? (I know - I waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out there)

What traffic?

Have you been to one that late at the places I know, who said it has to be a busy area of the Motorway. I know I've been to one last night. Yea it was wet and way too cold so I didn't do any stoppies but I don't know where was the traffic you are talking about. Plus comon sence is your friend. If you see something, take precautions. I don't know about what other people belive but my personal belife is safety comes first above all. There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. You seem confused about where I stand but that's cool. Every one is entitled to their opinion.

Yea sweet as bro, you can stand on the pillion pegs or do what ever you want too for something different. All good, I'd say we could try 2 up stoppies but your weight would probably just crush my balls! Oww... lol

P.S. I don't really know you postie but I have a lot of respect for your bro and I like him cause he's a bloody nice guy so I am just having a nice argument and don't have any ill feelings over this minor thing. Nothing personal dude, hope you take no offence..

I'm not likely to take offense over any of that mate. I haven't seen any motorways that are dead quite at night, but then I haven't seen every motoway, so if you know one, sweet
Like I said, wheelies on the motorway is no big deal, but stoppies is a different story, but if the road is totally dead like you said, then it shouldn't be a problem so long as someone is behind you so if a car does come, they will see the tail lights of the other bike and change lane rather then plow into the back of you when the bike has the rear wheel in the air doing 50-60Kph. Thats all my point is, I didn't think it was an argument.

[texmo]

Fuck that stoppie on the motorway you did at like 140 was awesome sudeep.

remove sudeep's penis from your mouth Texmo, it's very unbecoming of a lady.

I pop it back down well before it get's down to 50-60kmph dude! (like at 80 - 100kmph) I'm not that good to be able to to keep going till you get down to 50kmph from 140kmph! That would be a very long stoppie and it's out of my skill level ATM.

Even when there is a car behind you, all you do is calculate the speed you need to accelerate to and the distance you need to gain between you and the car behind you.

1) You negotiate the velocity of the vehicle you are doing it infront of.
2) If it's approx 100kmph or lower, only then is it safe to do this manuver.
3) Create a distance between you and the car of say about 150m atleast.
4) Accelerate to a launch speed of atleast 140kmph so the car doesn't creep up behind you.
5) Pull the back wheel up as quick as you can.
6) While you are rolling on the front wheel, keep an eye on how much slower you are starting to go.
7) Usually when I do it, I land it at about 90kmph - 100kmph. The 150m is just a generous margin for human error. Even after compleating the manuvor, you actually end up further ahead than your starting distance (before you accelerated to 140kmph) in comparision to the car behind you, if done right.

So in theory I wouldn't really be holding anyone up by doing the above unless they were speeding but then if that was the case, I wouldn't do it in the first place. Now that you have explained the speeds you were assuming in the sinario, I can see where you are coming from. I totaly understand your point bro. I can assure you, non of my stoppies on the motorway are that slow.

I failed every other subject in school but I was right at the top of my class for Maths and Physics. This shit comes in handy for what I love to do on bikes.

Chur chur bro, That was my first ever on the motorway that you are talkin about. Was pretty cool eh. I got pretty inspired after that, to do some more. :scooter:

You should see some of the ones that come right these days. When you get your bike fixed, we should go for some rides and I'll show ya.

Wish i could make it on saturday... Dropping a tooth on the front so i can pull it up at motorway speeds off the throttle... Im keen as to try stand ups...

[bugjuice]

lol.. funny thread..

found out last night that with the few mods on the 636, I should be able to power off the gas in second, so looking forward to it! But the bike still isn't quite road ready yet.. not that that hasn't stopped me or other s before.. I'll think on it.. ;)

I tried one today, fuck it scares me eh. I started trying to do stand ups a couple of nights ago.. As soon as I stand up to a decent body position, the right hand instantly shuts it off. I quite like the feeling you get through your body when you hug the bike in seating position. It's like, you know exactly what the bike's doing by feeling it through your body (without sounding too rude). When you stand up, it feels as though you are seperated from the bike and you can't feel much. But people do em no sweat so it's all in my head and I gotta figure out how to deal with it.

I've been browsing on www.stuntlife.com (http://www.stuntlife.com) lately and been getting some good pointers.

[GIXser]

Id be keen mate but me bike will be off the road for another week, then id be keen, let me know what ya doing eh..

[notme]

I don't stunt (yet....?) but there is a camera this way.....and support vehicle for carrying shit if you like... PM me Sudeep

[Motoracer]

Id be keen mate but me bike will be off the road for another week, then id be keen, let me know what ya doing eh..

Sweet bro! I've got your number. Will definetly keep checking to see when your bike is ready.

Cheers for the offer Glen, Allun. I am mearly one of the smaller playas in the show on Saturday and I wasn't even supposed to mention anything about it on the open forum (oooops! Boy is my face red lol). I just didn't know that, till later. They wana keep it low key for obvious reasons. They have all the camera and support crew etc sorted for then.

BUT!

For another weekend, another time, I'll definetly let you know for camera work! I guess we could try some at night (tomorrow or Fri) but the picture quality in the dark will be pretty shit I'd imagine..

To everyone who reads this: Don't worry about Saturday if you haven't been contacted by you know who ("The organisers"). It's got nothing to do with me on wheather you can come or not. Chur!

I just opened this up to get a buddy to practice with before the w/e but no interest so far... Where are you Brucey? I miss you... :( Get your K5 in road trim and come pull some wheelies!

[R6_kid]

Bugger it, ill come along for a look. Might even pop a few at the lights if i get the chance. My second gear lifts have been getting good, but 2nd gear keeps slipping which makes it near impossible to hold it up.

[Fishy]

found out last night that with the few mods on the 636, I should be able to power off the gas in second, so looking forward to it!

I took a 636 same as yours Kit for a night while mine was getting serviced and far out those things lift the wheel damn easy. It is easier to lift the front on the 636 than what it was on the CBR1000RR.
