The R1200RT-Ps are known for lifting the front wheel mainly with assistance from a helicopter. Although, if you do a high-lean-angle U-turn, and accelerate heavily out of it, the front lifts when the bike is still seriously under lean, an effect known to be followed with a severe pucker.

Only 931 tickets away from a upgrade

Apparently I have to spread rep around before I can give you any more, so please accept these seeds as a token of my appreciation of your well thought out answer:

I can see the headline now - Rangiora cop caught growing his own...

Well I got my first speeding ticket ever (13 years driving/riding) in the mail yesterday. 56km/h in a 50 zone in Bulls somewhere.

Ah, they're buggers there. First road on the right heading south usually but there's also a static camera, don't know if it works but.

which leads to the next question... Why aren't static cameras also installed at places where children more frequently get beaten up? since enforcement should be about prevention...

Cameras arent there for prevention, they just make it easier to catch the baddie after the fact.

Some crooks are smart enough to know where the cameras are, and not break the law in the vicinity of one. Bit like fixed speed cameras. Some know where they are so don't get caught.

I just flick 'the bird' as my wheelie indicator, works well.
