Wheelies in the carpark

[Taz]

I won't try it at home. Driveway is too short.

[maggot]

It's even more fun popping them accidentally, for the first time ever, while dragging off a mate on a gsxr

Now THAT was fun :P

[bombsquad]

are you guys clutching up or just powering up?

Wheelies are neither big, nor clever.

OMG - Wheelies in a supermarket car park !

Mind those trollies or it will all end in tears

[TOTO]

yea, like a colgue of mine pointed out - The cops tell you to take it to the race track, the race track organisers tell you to take it to the road. What is left but the work car park

....or the work driveway on the side

This is correct.... But are alot of fun.
Now ive got the XT, i seem to be doing them alot more.
I like showing off, (mans me feel like a man, and i tell myself that the girls like it!!)

I need the practice clicking through the gears, then ill be away.

You'll probably find the companys health and safety rules would get you. If an employee esp a supervisor sees someone that is performing an act endangering themself or that could endanger others they are mean't to report it and steps taken to eliminate the risk. Perhaps firing squad or similar.

True and sadly there are alot of sad miserable people who are so brain washed by this shit and are so keen to crawl up managements arse that they'd rush off to enter an incident report almost doing themselves an injury in their haste. I will never understand these assholes. We have at least a thousand of them where I work.

Is that you Jimmy?

Although I will point out that 120mph one armed wheelies are big and clever.

All stunts were performed by professionals. Do not attempt this at home

Isn't that what some guy who wheelied over a blind crest and rode into a brick wall said on this forum a while back?

Wheelies are neither big, nor clever, if you're a dumbshit

There, I fixed it for you.

On the old SV, it was a simple matter of opening the throttle at low speed and sitting a little back.

On the Gixxer, its sit back, open throttle, wait for revs to get high enough (about 4-5k me thinks) then pop that clutch and modulate the hight with your right hand.

But don't every try it as it might be fun. You could also damage your bike by flipping it, and possibly get hurt, unless you are wrapped in cotton wool.

Those that can, do those who can't complain about how dangerous it is and that no one should be doing it - ever!

If I had seen you doing wheelies in my car park I would have hit you up straight away with serious misconduct. If you had told me to "man up" you would be immediately looking for a new job.

As an employer I have the legal responsibility to insure that my staff do not injure themselves at work. The Rozza can only charge you with dangerous, big deal a 3 month lol and a $1000 fine, if I know you were driving dangerously at work and did nothing and you injured yourself I can be personally fined $250,000.

I am actually surprised you still have a job. So stop doing dumb shit at work.

And there's the problem with NZ's S&H laws. Gone are the days of personal responsibility. I understand you could be had up, but I find your response incredulous. I've been a supervisor and let the boys be 'boys'. If they fucked up we'd laugh, they'd learn (albeit the hard way) and we'd be on our merry way.

I'd never work in a company where the culture is half the response you've given.
