I was crusing home from visiting my girlfriends parents in Ruakaka, and heading through the back roads from Wellsford via Peak Rd and saw a couple of bikes coming up very quick behind me, since i was just enjoying crusing along, i moved over so they could pass. Which they did, and, like all good riders, waved thanks as they passed. then there was a car in front that they wanted to pass, and as they did, the one in front put his right foot under his bum, and popped a wicked wheelie as he overtook. His mate did the same, but without the foot thing. I know they were suzukis and i can only assume they were TL's, they looked pretty new. Was that anyone in here, if so, just wanna say GREAT JOB!!!!! the kids in the back of the car were signalling for me to do the same, but i am still running my bike in and think, being a 600, it would struggle to pull that sort of wheelie at 80 plus K's

**vince25** · 20th November 2005, 19:54

600 should do a wheely at 80-100... mine does reasonable well.... anything past a 100 and im buggered though without the clutch (which I can't get to work as of yet)

I actually wouldnt mind learning how to do it safely. i know there are classes you can take, but is it really that tough?

How would you know? With chicken strips like that I think the only thing you nail is ol'blondies ass!!

Theres some really nice tight corners on old north rd too. just before you cross through riverhead forest. I love those corners
