    Burnouts will happen from time to time... lower tyre pressure will help as there will be more tyre on the road for the bike to try spin. Send a message to Kevmo... cause he's just damn good

    Wheelie's

    I know this is probably a subject thaty has been doen to death, but I have personally never seen it and i want some help.

    How the hell do you do a wheelie?

    Right the first one that says a: that dangerous

    or b: just get on the back wheel

    will get a smack alongside the head.

    Can anyone give me a fairly fool proof and hopefully idiot proof set of instructions on how to do this.

    It looks easy?????

    but is it???????

    1. I do it on purpose
    2. I dont give a shit
    3. Tell some one who cares.

    wheelies are neither big nor clever

    That's not true!
    Big wheelies are big, and if they're executed well, they're clever too.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Huh.
    That reminds me of when I was at high school, a lifetime ago. A guy in my class was pestering his older brother for a ride on his bike, and that's the advice he gave him on how to start.
    Oh how he did laugh.
    Bikes must've been more strongerer then, because he was still laughing even after he extricated his bike from the fence.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Wheelies are per definition neither fool nor idiot proof.

    Although sometimes they may be proof of an idiot or a fool...

    Good luck with it!

    Or maybe make a law against them.

    yeah, that's it: band them AND make a law against them.

    We need more laws.

    As per usual, i am never disappointed in the varied veiws of my many motor cycling colleagues, who feel the need to tell me shit I already know.

    I know there stupid and bloody dangerous, but that does not stop me wanting to do one.

    I was told riding a bike was stupid and dangerous, but I still bloody do it.
