    Yup, and check out the eloquence in the revitalising post.

    Can't wheelie. Don't care.

    I must ask my best man if he's decided to make a come back after all these years. Only he could get that much red for one fuckin post.

    I does. I thought this had been removed from youtube, but found it the other night. I was just learning wheelies when we made this video. Yup, learning wheelies with one arm on a thou.



    Nothing impressive i know, but they have got better. Oh the big smokie at the start had a landing speed in excess of 200km/h. 244 indicated actually. And these were filmed on a private road.

    Outstanding! The whole balance thing must be so different and I m betting there is some work going on with your core and tank gripping. You win an award for outstanding service to the wheel stand.

    Wicked OAB, so when you lost the arm did you grow an extra ball?

    Too clever for me mate. Think the pic you're talking about is in my album but I can't grab the bb code on this stupid ipad.

    OAB: Isnt it painfully slow typing one handed on an Ipad?

    Btw do you use clutch for downshifting? Looking at your setup it must suck braking into a corner at speed and downshifting if you are using the clutch at the same time.

    Anyways, keep it up

    Yeah it kind of sucks but I have just got a bluetooth keyboard for it so that's much better

    Very rarely use the clutch on downshifts on the open road or track, just a correctly timed blip and a small amount of pressure on the gear lever is enough to ensure a smooth downchange. Been doing it for 30,000km on this bike and the gearbox is still as sweet as ever, despite all opinions to the contrary.

    Cheers.

    I think you'll find he also types one handed on keyboards

    I finally managed to start popping wheelies on the GSXR today. I can't hold them up, but with a lot of throttle and a tug on the handle bars it pops up nicely in 1st gear.
