Bike wrecking meet up anyone?

[Motoracer]

Okie, after having a browse through the forum Stuntlife, I thought, "why not?"

Are there any of yous in AKL area interested in learning or sharpening up some stunting skills?

I am terrible at organising shit so it'll just be a laid back sort of an approach to it. I'll see if I can find a venue or if you have a good one in mind, please share.

If some one manages to get hurt or what ever, we can always call an ambulence of course but I'll have a van there with a first aid kit and tools etc. If someone happens to binit, I can always transport the bike in the van (I am poor so I might ask for fuel money).

Just an idea folks.

Was thinking about the same thing last night on the ride home.

"Stunters day out"

Make no impression that it is anything other than a chance to destroy bodies and machines in an environment where there's no chance of getting a ticket. Also we wouldn't see any moaning about it ruining a sedate ride (fair enuf though).

It would probably have to be on private property, Pukekohe management wouldn't be happy with the ACC premiums!

For the same reason we couldn't even use a carpark of anyone that owns a business, then the business would be liable. So does anyone have a long wide concrete driveway?

The title might sound a bit too scary. Just to let you guys know. I give the highest importance to safety. For thoes who want any tips, I'll run you down with all the safety percautions that you can take to minimise the risks.

I really have no intention of putting a scratch on my baby so I'll be real carefull out there. Its up to you guys, how carefull you wana be though.

[jrandom]

Hell yeah, I'd be up for it.

I'll bring a can of diesel for dessert...

[FzerozeroT]

Full body armour etc would have to be compulsory of course, just a thought though, after you are all suited up, feel the back of your knee. I've heard of footpegs making nice holes there

Not to be a kill-joy, but you're opening a serious can of worms here, MR.

Everybody knows I'm up for a bit of stunting but you really need a huge area with a good surface. Riders of machines such as yours need to first investigate what to do to their bikes to make them "stuntworthy" as it aint just about going to a carpark and popping a few monos.

Super low gearing is the first mod as is removing lower fairings/indicators and fitting crash bungs. tyres in good nick with around 20psi to the rear.

Riders want to wear MX style knee and elbo pads under theior clothing. On piece leathers are too restrictive for climbing all over the bike, hence the reason you see the top "yanks" stunting it up in baggy cargos, t-shirts and sand shoes.

Believe me people, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I have almost sussed a venue in Wellington to practice on weekends with PERMISSION! Yahooo!

unless you're talking about just going for a ride to a secluded spot and stopping for a few wheelies/stoppies/burnouts. Then, go mad. Just make sure you don't piss off Joe Public or the cops'll be down on you like a ton of bricks.

Firstly, Thank you. We need all the advise we can get form people who know what they are doing like yourselves.

I was planing on going fairing less and I already have the crash knobs. I won't be doing any crazy (to me) stuff. I just want to practice the basics so I can do them else where when riding normal. For this reason I am just going out there with the normal gearing. Is it easier or harder to balance on a 20psi rear once its up?

I am just going to be wearing my normal leathers because I just want to do the basics right now. Thoes who have MX gear should wear them by all means.

I'll choose the venue carefully so no worries about getting in trouble with anyone.

It's not the balance. it's the grip, especially if you want to start high chairs. The gearing is esential otherwise you're travelling around at 100kph +.

Then I'll just go with the normal psi cause I am just doing the basic stuff. I thought it was just the grip issue, thats why I asked if there was any difference once its up.

When it comes to stunts, I am still a so forget about high chairs

Again I'll stress that I just want to practice some basic stuff and if anyone wants to join me in the process they are welcome to.

[FzerozeroT]

basics are all i can do, high chair on mine? dial in 11,000, pray, dump clutch, hang on.
Stand on tank? and scratch the paint? its the only paint i've got left that isn't scratched.

but would like to have someone there who can help with stuff like tyre pressures, body position etc.

need some good seating too, nothing like an audience to make people over-confident

[White trash]

Shit! I'd love to join you boys and girls as this could be a real hoot

tell ya what, MR. Get your team sorted, I'll get mine and we'll have the first NZ Sportbike Stuntfest early next year. Could probably tie it in with a car/bike show.

$100 each entry fee. $500 to the winner, $200 for second and $100 for third.

I'll put up the prize money and the proceeds go to charity.

I don't think 1 year is enough time to catch up to your skill standards At least we'll try to beat you guys for the coolest team name

As for a realistic (kind of) compition, I am keen as for a rematch at Pukie

you're dead.

name your time, tough guy

Give me a bit of notice though 'cause I'm still recovering from the hiding you gave me last time

[k14]

Just get Death Inc into your team and you will be sorted.

Yea, yea you beat me fair and square that time. I just didn't get one thing though. I don't know why you left so early just when my times were starting to improve
