To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better

For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
Quite helpful indeed. Is there anybody here with experience wheelieing RGs?
I'm sure it's possible, today I had the front a foot off the ground just under 'normal' acceleration in first, slipping it quite quickly and smoothly, completely by accident. I wonder what would happen would I were to make an effort. (The answer, of course, is that I'd likely cock up out of over-thinking it...)
That was the second time ever, and unlike the first, no clutch smell at all!

Mate, I'm not sure what you smelled the first time, but I'll bet you a thousand bucks it wasn't the clutch on an RG150.

Well, that leaves few possibilities!Originally Posted by White trash
I didn't shit myself, so it wasn't that.
I don't think the engine did anything it wasn't used to.
I wasn't going past the tinnie house.
So just what IS that smell that seems to be curiously associated with being perhaps a bit heavy handed with the clutch?

Wanted. Bike in Hawkes bay that i can thrash and practice some wheelies on.
Will suply beer at the end of session, and you can laugh at me all you want
There is no dark side of the moon, really, as a matter of fact. Its all dark...
Dunno. But I'm pretty sure a fully enclosed, wet clutch you wont be able to smell. Could be full'o shit of course...Originally Posted by Jamezo

Now to find a good parking area for the weekend
You know you had a good nite when you have to ask someone if you had a good nite.
To be honest, i found it easier to learn on my bike, the one that i actually ride day to day-- not some trailbike, i tried that -- just start slowly make sure there is someone there to help, wheelieing is a total; mental thing" you have to break that barrier" of oohhh fuck,,, that came up quick, and snapping the throttle shut,, practice opening the throttle little by little a little further, now im no expert by any means" just telling ya what i know, and what worked for me, get used ot the sudden lift of the bike first, before anything else, once you can lift the bike easily , even though you slam it down again a millisecond later, walk yourself through the steps, of keeping the throttle open another millisecond longer---
now in saying all this, if you are a complete Moron, and have no sense of balance, or you were fucked or are fucked in anything to do with balance, ie walking-- do not fuckin attempt it , wheeliing is not for you,,
beer at the beginning... make for an interesting afternoonOriginally Posted by froggyfrenchman
