    If you want to stunt, don't you just buy a crashed Sprotsbiketm. Or even better 1200 Bandit, add a long chain and 60t sprocket, cave the top of the tank in as a perch and there you are?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    You prolly want something injected in any case so it can run reliably at the 12oclock position?
    Plus, that bike has none of the stunting setup, extra brake calipers, super low gearing, throttle lock etc etc

    Kind of. Bandit is WAY too heavy. 600s are the best.

    Carbs wheelie just fine right up to the subframe scraping.

    It's stoppies where they can come unstuck. My FZR would starve for fuel with the back wheel up, then it would be a cunt to start. Bit embarrassing with an audience, so I never really worked on my stoppie game.

    Nah bro I stoppie everywhere!


    actually I was only saying that cos my D class 4x4 mate put LPG on his machine as it would cut out or splutter on the upright sections and die when he was rollingover and there was a bit of mojo to be had being able to just drive on out of that crazy shit!

    I love that stuff. This "it cuts out when other than horizontal" thread has got me thinking about the upside down Daimler Benz V12 in a WW2 FW-190 and how the induction works. (mechanical fuel injection) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler-Benz_DB_601 - a boon to the piston powered fighter plane. Especially if your carburetted Spitfire spluttered and died........ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Merlin Though Mis Shillings orifice did help with that.

    Did we all see the C130-H flyover today?

    I didnt realise it was going to land. If I knew that I would have gone I saw it from the balcony at work as it flew over. When we lived in Riccarton when Wigram was an airbase they fairly routinely landed and took off from there. If there was a southerly blowing their final approach from the north was right over our house. Fucking cool as shit.
