    Wheelie disaster...



    Every other time I've tried to do a wheelie on this thing, I've only gone 10cm off the ground.I didn't do anything different this time but the whole f*ckn bike reared up and scraped its ass on the ground before I knew what was happening. I pulled in the clutch to stop anything worst happening, but my bike's scarred for life...

    All the rear lights are totalled and the fairing is damaged. I feel like a noob.



    I blame jrandom's avatar for this incident.

    ...I don't feel very legendary... I just grabbed the clutch and held it there on its ass, flicked the kill switch, brought it back down and almost cried.

    Lesson learned, I think. I hope.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Shit, I'm amazed you managed to do that with out looping it! Well done (sort of). You're either wheelie skilled or wheelie lucky. You've wheelie got to know what you're doing before attempting wheelies, otherwise it can be wheelie dangerous, wheelie expensive, wheelie embarrassing, wheelie hard on your licence if you get caught, and (this is wheelie important) it wheelie does have the potential to lead to wheelie serious injurys. We wheelie don't want that to happen do we?





    Where are my meds? Dammit, it wheelie annoys me when I loose them.

    What were you doing, sitting over the back to get that little bike to do that?

    I just gassed it up and dropped the clutch...

    I think I may have slid off the seat a bit because I was standing up in the end and the FXR150 has no back support and a very slippery seat.

    So an FXR150 can do a wheelie

    Didn't think they had enough power to do a wheelie.

    Have seen people accidently slip them into gear without clutch while engine was doing 7,000rpm. Did nothing but grind loudly, jump 50cm forward and prompty stall.

    I've never attempted a wheelie because they're wheelie dangerous and can become wheelie expensive if they wheelie go wrong. Did you see that picture posted up recently of a wheelie accident. Was material.
    I also wheelie respect my bike
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    I like my bike too, but never knew it could jump like that otherwise I wouldn't have tried.

    What the fuck are you crying about? scraped up tail with the rest of the body looking mint gives you shit load of street cred! Anytime someone looks at the scar, just tell em you can do 12s!

    Don't you know chix dig scars, specially the cool ones from doing 12s!!!

    Chin up and stay on 2 wheels or on 1 at least!

    Meh! Thats a myth- if chix really did dig scars then I'd get mobbed by lusty women at the beach/ pool ... rather than getting stared at like a circus freak :spudwhat:

    Yea true, for MX and dirt... Though if you go at the Isle of man TT pace on a road bike, both wheels can be lifted off the ground over some crests.

    Fuck man, you dirt riders loop it, smash your head on the handle bars, do back flips, fuckin whip the tail on to the side while catching some air or nose dive onto flat ground when you miss the ramp or into a wall when you fall short of a gap...

    Broken rear guard on a CR doesn't count!!!
