On One Wheel, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[2_SL0]

Yep, it happened if I wasnt so busy lining up for the corner I could say it was fun. Picture this, me toodling along, old couple in front, (holy hell, mother of slowness, someone that is slower than me in front) So I do the only logical thing , drop down a gear and nail it. Well I must of got a little carried away with the throttle hand as I went past the old couple on one wheel. Not sure who was more concerned. I tell a lie, it was def me, just about crapped myself. The wheel came down, the bars gave a little wiggle and I dived into the corner. This all happened quicker than I can say shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...........tttttttttttt. But Im pretty sure that was the word I used at the time. Where it happened is what is the tricky bit. Those who ride out Kaiawa will follow, where you turn off the straights along the coast and head back into Highway 2 (think it is). There are acouple of tight corners and a one way bridge. I was in the middle of that just before one of the corners, hehehe.

Meanwhile the old couple are thinking, "damn crazy kids on thier bikes..."

Least you didn't bin it and you know not to throttle on so hard next time.


Oh and congrats on your next post. You'll know what I mean.

Ah it has began............. Welcome

Congratulations !!!! I haven't even done that yet! Soon, you will be wheelie-green!

May I ask, what gear were you in? Did you back off the throttle the minute the front came up?

Maybe we should start a support group for all the 636 riders who can't wheelie..

was it all off the power, and you were sat right back...?
i love doing them off the clutch, much easier and much higher and much slower..

but well done mate!!!!

Wheelies are great, but I won't be impressed until you get it down-packed with one-hand.

The GETTING UP is seldom hard. Tis the COMING DOWN that is tricky

As far as I could tell it was straight out power. dont think I was back in the seat. But I did give it a big handful . I wasnt expecting it, but it was all over in the blink of an eye. Im pretty sure it was second gear.

[aff-man]

Bastards who can do it under power...... i can only get like a slight pront wheel lift if i nail it in first...... clutching is so much easier.
