    You could do something really different and enjoy riding bike with both wheels on ground.

    I do, very much. Learning to do stoppies helps with brake control the same way wheel stands help with throttle control. Plus it would look cool to be able to bust out a stoppie

    After hearing everyones points of views I think I will stay clear of stoppies for now.

    Took me a while to realise the irony haha "Ridden bikes all my life, never had a chance to do stoppies. Now that I had a bike that had front brakes was wondering what I would need to do stoppies" Corrected

    That is a pretty ugly looking high chair. They're not as hard to do, as they look.

    Im only fooling round do what makes you happy but you would be better off using a cheep banger stunt bike to learn on than you road bike.Put the Hyo over the front and and its prob dead.

    Get something like this strip bits off it put some cross bars on it

    Have i missed something at start of Thread you were riding Hyo now its written off when did this happen and were you attempting stoppy at the time.

    Im now thinking stop using an insured motorbike to do stoppies on cause its effecting everyone insurance premiums get a stunt bike and do it off the road.

    Tomorrow will be 2 weeks of the insurance having all the details from the shop so I'll be giving them another call. Want the cash now to buy the bike I'm looking at on TM.

    yeah bro,
    took my insurance almost two months to sort my bike out after it was stolen and written off,
    and it was a clean cut write off.
    Just takes time.
