Wheelie disaster...

[SPORK]

Check and mate.

Man I hate it when the voice of reason makes sense to me! He gotta point about this, get a real good grip on the two wheel buzz, before trying it on one.
You suck Zed, your like that voice in my head, that Mum always said was my conciense, except I can make that one shut up by ignoring it.

I thought that was photo shopped..
Going over a bump

[Motoracer]

I gotsta disagree with that. If you have a look at my avatar, my ol' fizzer is right up there

Cool photo man! Was that taken, when you were riding in the US?

People are saying I should wait before trying to wheelie but how does time on the road prep you for wheelies? They're nothing like normal riding, I might as well start learning some time and its best while I've got a cheap low powered bike.

By the way I wasn't on the road, I use the Hamilton Riding School grounds (with permission) when I'm doing something stupid like this.

gonna cost $129 for the lights and 1 roll of duck tape for the fairing. I'm pretty lucky thats it.

The more riding experience you have Pathos the better equipped you will be to tackle stunts, because you *should* have gained the knowledge of many unknown variables to newbies such as riding in changing weather conditions (sudden gusts of wind, etc) and on different road surfaces (knowing how to spot the slippery/tricky parts of the road), skills in balance control and emergency braking, etc.

If you have been trying these stunts under somewhat controlled conditions and are a quick learner then you may be an exception to the general rule that learners shouldn't try stunts? But your little backwards moment says it all really...you could have broken your neck!

That's my opinion but it's your life!

Awesome! Definately don't fix it! You're a legend, in my books anyway

You're right about learning on a less powerful bike too,at least you'll only fall off at lower speeds.Try rolling along at 10-15kph next time before you dump the clutch,it should make it a bit more controllable.
Despite what is often said here,trailies aren't the best thing to learn on,they may come up easier but they're harder to balance than most roadbikes,and I can tell you from experience that it f****n hurts like hell to flip one at 100 odd k's on a gravel road.I spose they're cheaper to fix though.....

funny you say that I always found it so easy to wheelie my off road bike but cant get the sport bike thing right cant get it to balance it always feel like Im going to flip it... Maybe that is cause I had more time on a off road than a road bike.

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.

hahahaahha man you must have looked fucken good for a second and then looked like a cock for the rest of the ride hahahahah practice makes perfict but if you keep that up you will just never be perfict i would buy a skid plate and put it on

I rode off-road for about 10 years,I can wheeelie a trailie better now than when I rode 'em all the time

FXR150's a 4 stroke single isn't it ? RG(V)150 is the two smoker

Damn, I just don't know my 150's..... I guess I shouldn't have always classed them as being a high speed scooter! Will have to trade my SV thousand and join the revolution!

[thmax]

they talking about bike scars not stretch marks

[Pathos]

They definitely are not scooters...

I don't understand scooters with more than 50cc, its illegal to ride them with out a MC license and you still look like a poof riding it.

[Ixion]

Oh yeah, that's another bike I never could get to wheelie. A Hobby scooter with a centrifugal clutch and belt drive. Couldn't get it to do much else either, actually.

HA HA, it aint easy to do a wheelie, when there is a fuckin Pom standing in the middle of the road, took ages to get the shot. I was doing some mint wheelies on the way back down the road, but coming towards him was a non event.

WHAT, scooters do the best wheelies on the planet, WhiteTrash will back me up, sinse he could do it way better than me.
