Safe, responsible 'ooligan behaviour

Just in case any of you thought WT and I were bullshitting when we claimed that the FXR wheelied well, I headed outside (to a private carpark area, of course!) with a couple of colleagues and a digital camera at lunch today.

Now, all you go-fast posers on 250cc fours, let's see some from you eh?

GO JR

Thats the balance point alright! How far/long do you keep it up for?

Unfortunately there's only about 100m of space round the side of our building there, so it was a matter of pop it up, hold it for 30m or so for the photo and try not to run into the back of a Mercedes before I landed...

I have a long way to go before I can claim Wheelie God status.

If you don't have a stoppie pic here by this weekend, I'll add one with the help of my mate's FXR.

You can wheelie it for 30m? Respect!

I'll try it on the FXR after I get heaps more practice on my GSXR. Don't want to bin my mate's bike by trying too hard too soon.

Not every time perfect though!

By all means post a stoppie pic. We need to get more 'spect going for the lowly FXR and I've never bothered to practice stoppies on mine.

*Bows to JR*

Dude that's impressive.... wish I had the balls to try that. Maybe it'd be easier after she's all tuned up eh

My mate does stoppies all the time on his, but I'd be more confortable with a second disc myself.

Respect

No need for a second disc. The brakes are good enough, turst me. Maybe not a highspeed one (haven't tried) but low to medium speed stoppie is really good on it.

For a nice rolling stoppie i recommend about 70-90kmh now you guys are tempting me to practice more......... and get foto's of me doing it

(i know a good large carpark) and i know that is just asking for me to bin it

But ill have fun trying hehehe

**Motoracer** · 20th April 2004, 16:42

Do you do Rolling stoppies TS? Now we really have to get together for a ride sometime

With this much interest, soon we'll be on to 12s with the FXR and RG 150s
