Larrakin behaviour!

hmm yeah i spose stoppies on a big bike would be more scarey.. just yesterday i tried 2 outside my house on my racebike, just slow as and with the only good tyres in my garage on it and nice brakes i just rip in the front brake, dont even need to shuffle weight (altho it does help) and it can throw you right over.

That would be Trevor "Fatboyslim" Franklin.

I stopped buying PB ever since they mix the girls with the bikes. Loss of focus, I reckon.

He got BIIIIG didn't he??

Look at an old photo and he's almost unrecognisable now compared to 5 years ago. Simon Hargreaves too.

I agree that they've lost focus.

heh... Lucky Fat Bastid...

Look at his portfolio of test rides apart from new bikes:
Doohan's NSR, V2 NSR, 250 NSR, Edwards' Castrol RVF, Edwards' RC51, and that was only in 2 issues......Not to mention Rossi's NSR n Yamaha N1.
Damn enviable job, eh? I'd work overtime for free for that

And you'd prolly be in line behind 2-3million bikers around the world who would pay to be allowed the job!

**Racer X** · 14th January 2004, 13:26

Wheelies, stoppies and anything else I can think of to try

Dude! you look like KK!!

Is Racer X the secret identity of KK?

Nice trick by the way,

I never could let go of the bike with that one hand after standing on top.

**Racer X** · 14th January 2004, 15:09

Thanx moto, and I like that slogan of yours by the way

Yeah, you just gotta go for it, not on a dirtbike though LOL

Who is this KK? don't worry, I'm not him

Cheers dude

, I might try it one of these days on my race bike.

And KK is the infamous one and only Kwaka-kid, the legendary westie himself.

He has an identical looking bike as yours.

**Kwaka-Kid** · 15th January 2004, 07:32

eh? me? no! but thats my bike! mmm go the V4's.

Did one wheelie years ago on my old 400 over speed hump. Can't get my GSX to come up, but have to admit I have no idea how. would like to learn wheelies/stoppies but can't afford the repairs when I get it wrong, and like riding too much to be without bike while I try to save up for repairs. So I just go hard out with both whels on the ground.
I have got the front off (probably only an inch or so) in an uphill corner pushing it a couple of times, when hitting bump in the road. I guess the front is fairly light though going uphill under power.

I saw some great larrakin behaviour on Friday night at the top of the Takas.
We'd stopped at the top for a smoke and a Ducati 999 & a CBR 1000 came flying up from the Wairarapa side. As the CBR hit the car park he popped the bike onto the back wheel and did a mono across the car park. Then he dropped it down and went straight into a stoppie to finish. It looked very cool.
Then as both bike departed they both popped up and monoed off into the sunset.
