Went to Puke today to watch the bike racing, did anybody else see on the start off the warm up lap, the rider showing off doing a stand up wheelie, lost control and crashed.

Yep. It looked impressive as he was leaning it to go round the corner up to the point he fell off.

I heard the ambulance dropped him off at the pits, so hopefully he isn't too sore.

Ow again... still, bloody good to hear he's obviously bruised and ego shattered as opposed to occupying a hospital bed...

mmm not sure if I should post his name, needless to say he is VERY well known... especially for stuff like that... and yes, the warm up lap. He got a broken finger I *think*.

Imagine our surprise down at the hairpin, we hear over the radio that the guys are coming out, next second, we get told "Red Flag" :mellow: Pity... he was impressing us down at the hairpin, with the swingarm chattering almost every time, then wheelie'ing out, on the in lap :gob:

Well,thats just typical of Lance,he has been warned so many times
He also caused the accident with Jason McEwan a few years back at Paeroa
down the back straight,pissing around doing wheelies while the race was on!
He needs his bloody head read
How fast was he going & where did he fall off??

Yeah at least that tit did it 'trying' to scrub some tires in, Not just showing off. ( and that tit's a funny cunt )

Wheelies are for the warm down Lap. :yes:

That man is USUALLY very skilled at his wheelies and stoppies!
maybe he might say what went wrong?
saw another one of his rolling stoppies thru the dummy grid bout lunch time
Man has skills just dont know why he plays that way at the track!
Mum sure didnt sound too happy!

that rolling stoppie was pretty impressive... as was the wheelie he did on the previous races warmup lap, couldnt be outdone by a 16yr old on a pitbike but it looks like on this day he was!

Good to see he's back racing after his nasty off at Wanganui......obviously needs more wheely practice by the sound of it......

So let me get this straight, because the infamous Lance Lowe can do a minging wheelie or stoppie whenever the mood takes him, he's a dangerous cunt with a big ego who deserves to be taken down a peg or two?

Sounds like a bad case of wheelie envy.

Great to see the KB romour mill's still goin strong:Punk:

No broken bones, our boy's fine. He managed to crush a finger under the bars and has a black finger nail. Diddims. No battered ego, just a bloody good sense of humour. The trick is, apparently, not to fit a shock 35mm too long.

I THINK YOULL FIND JASON JUST RAN INTO THE BACK OF LANCE, ON THAT BACK STRAIGHT ITS HARD TO KEEP THE FRONT DOWN CAUSE OF THE BUMPS IT CAUGHT ME OUT A FEW TIMES AND BESIDES WHEELIES MAKE RACES MORE ENTERTAINING

Old lance aye... Watching him come down the front straight on the qualifying laps, full tank slappers each time (down the full length of the straight) you would think you would come in after the second slapper... but noooooooo he had to stay out for a further 4 laps even after being black flagged twice... Nice stoppie and his pace was ok... doing 61's and 60 second laps...

Prob stops people trying to get close and pass him as well if they think he is about to crash.

Was reading an article about Irish road racing and three racers where talking the way around a section of the Ulster 200 and telling the reporter how you had to be inch perfect and at this particular corner there was no room for error so to hold back and concentrate on getting good drive out to pass at the next section, to which the 3rd racer replied this was where he passed as it puts the shits up the other racers and they dont want to pass back!

Sez the guy that can't sling a leg over his bike without being spat off it instantly.....

quite a few bikes in that formula auckland group were getting their slap on down the front straight, quite un-nerving giving the speeds they were doing... gotta have balls as big as tiger woods to stay out there with your bike in that setup.

The wheelie accident was unfortunate, was just interesting that he hadnt done anything before the lunch time stunt display by kevmo70 on his little pit bike.

Coming from the guy who said fuck you cant wheelie that scooter for shit let me show you how its done. Thanks for fliping it for me mate.
Besides I take offence I did atleast 5 laps before I came off....
