    I must admit that my attitude has changed (in a + way) towards the 150cc bike now than I have ridden with you and seen you in action TS.
    Just ask Vladi about following me around the back of Whangamata on his R1 lol

    I'd have to agree- stoppies dont do road bike forks any favours. My advice would be to borrow a mates dirt bike and then stand it on its end. Weighs less and is easy to bail out on if it all goes pear shaped.

    Cant do em on the 250. When I throw the weight forward the front wheel just skips.

    The 600 was good - rolling I could do for a car length - but no balance (same prob with wheelies). 90 degree turns - standard courier trick for getting between parked cars. 180s - fookin hard, never got the hang of em.

    Stunting on a bike - all good stuff, but probably not a good idea on a public road (car park stuff really) and also not on your pride and joy - lest you scuff it

    Also helps having proper safety gear.

    Here'a me thinking of a porn thread. What a bummer. Hell I couldn't even get a 250 up. Never did master it. No ways now: not even interested

    Always be prepared to walk over the handle bars. Havnt actually tried a decent stoppie on the ZXR yet. RG was good at doing em though. GB sucked.
    And the 955 always seems to lift the back then slide the front - fuckn scary

    yeah i can do them, im not sayin im the man or any thing cause im so far from it,
    but they are fully hard to do when you have never done them before,
    its hard to grab a fist full of breaks when you know that the front wheel could lock and its all over for ya..

    most of my rollin stoppies are a couple of feet off the ground,
    but for every 10 i do, 1 will be a really good 1,
    i know i shouldnt do them but some times the hoon takes over and there i am comin up to lights, 1 thing leads to another and whoops up it comes

    have fun doing them, but when it all goes bad....

    Thats why I'm a little apprehensive about doing them one armed on the 750. Small ones no problem on the spada or rgv250, but they are a lot smaller and lighter than my current steed. I'll get there though.
