How high can you get it up????

[Mongoose]

Yeah... The bike just stops....

Shaftdrive, limited horsepower and a front of engine oil pick up make wheelies inadviseable too...

Is that as you have been told Paul, or do we hear another story unfolding?

Well, it's a shaftie, you see.

They can't wheelie.

Physics, innit.

Poor fishing today. Just leave the bait for the more excitable members in future, hmmm?

I have before too, sort of, more like a totally uncontrolled "Oooooops, slips, pharkin cold clutch hand" scenario

By the way, back to the stoppies.
If i EVER got the Guzzi to come up to the heights that were mentioned, well
I think it would be a case of "Its all fun and games till some one gets hurt"

Hey everyone,

Well we have had heaps of stunting threads, and how high you wheelie is, and how WT and Death and amazing at wheelies.......

But lets talk stoppies...... how high can you get it???? I know i have got it up around the 3 foot mark infront of PT and Milky, and ive got it up around the 5 foot mark with some stoppies...

I was just wondering what peoples experiences with stoppies and rolling stoppies are...... I dont care if you have only done a 6 inch high one, or a 6 oclock death stoppie....... All experience wanted

Cheers everyone

They look good when done smoothly, especially when someone does one right next to you at a stop. Personally I don't even try them...no reason really.

Na not true, while it can be a little harder with a shaft it can be done, my 1100i sport dident have troubles (bit tricky cos of such a tall 1st gear)
Paul.... do you remember the thread on this on the Wild Guzzi forum? some one there posted photos of Guzzis with the frount wheel in the air and some brillent photos of Vmax's aswell.

Not to great for the fork's on road bike's . not really made for that / plus a excellent way to shorten the head set bearing's life . Never tryed that hard to do them on my roady's but did the odd one or two on my Motard TT600 & dike bikes . Still like to watch other's doing the thou . Even better when they endo Nice Sensei

Well said that man if I know what you said, but well said anyway

[Bandito]

Yep I got it entirely wrong doing a stoppie-got multiple fractures in my arm to prove it. Biggest problem was the location I (UNWILLINGY) chose to break the aforementioned arm, try riding from half way across the napier-Taupo road to Napier (the hilly windy bit) with a multiple fractured right(brake an throttle) arm and a banged up VFR 750. Needless to say I do very careful stoppies now if I do them at all!
