    New to this

    This is my first thread so "beer" with me.
    Went for a wee play with jimbo750 today, took some wheelie photos, and had a blat, on the Paikak hill.
    It ocurrs to me, that other people may also be keen, for such carry on and malarky.
    Anyone interested in some action shots, should post it here, and we'll try to organise some shit.
    As I will be off to the Air force, in the not too distant future, we need to get on to this.
    All stupid shit , will be conducted on as deserted road, as we can find.
    Let me know who is keen.
    My pics will be posted as soon as Ford gets them to me.unk:

    Was it you and Jimbo that I saw up the top of Paekak Hill around 2.30pm on Sunday? I was in the front on the Monster with throwovers, Hamish was behind me on his red/black GS1200SS. I thought it was Jimbo in the parking lot, didn't want to stop as I'd just ridden down from Pukekohe and wanted to get home (Hamish came to meet me at Waikanae)

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    I don't care how deserted the road is. This sort of behaviour is just plain dumb

    Hey might help your sales if they wreck a few bikes, that is provided they don't wreck themselves in the attempt.

    It's good to see you're such a concerned big brother there WT.

    Why don't you just teach Drew how to do wheelies properly?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    We were all young once
    If one wants to do this stuff do it in the right place and learn how to do it safely. I for one won't throw stones I've done some silly things in days gone by... I'm sure everyone has, even the cops admit to it on national TV.
    I'ts good to see cages having drifting and burn out comps in a controlled place nothing like this in my early days just hope that the cops arn't around when U try. Some one may organise a have a go day with expert help for those who want to explore the limits of their ability and bike.

    Got nothing to do with being concerned, I just don't want the liitle bugger upstaging me!

    Totally understand that one, I have two younger brothers myself.

    Speaking from experience too, FZR's ain't that easy to hold up when you get them up - they're pretty heavy - nothing like a gixxer 600...

    Still, some of you guys are pretty good at this sort of thing - maybe a stunting coaching clinic might be in order.

    Mate, I find, the fizzer sits up quite easy.
    Once it's up, it stays there through fourth gear, noworries!
    The only tmie I have any probems. is when there is a fuckin camera man, standing in the midle of the road, right in front of me.
    Hit him, or hit his bike, which is parked on the road, beside him. Options are limited.
    Still, good camera work, bastard must have, balls of steel, 'cos I wouldn't stand in the way, of a bike on one wheel.
