Tis but a dream

true duckman... or you could avoid nullifying ya warranty by buying a TRE (or cheaper alternative off the net... for $30) which you can unplug come servicing time! (haha!) I spoke to the boys at Holeshot about getting a TRE and they said 'basically anything that doesn't have 'suzuki' on it will void the warranty'. so the moral is clear... make sure they don't find out!

Nice bike BTW

mm.. chain wear... hadn't thought of the lashing the throttle method gives- good point

might go have a play

Done this one a few times,flash bloke in sports car,older guys with young birds to impress are best,fall for it every time.Overtake but keep to just above their speed.Most times their tiny brains think,"bike struggled to get by,I`ve got a bit more so showtime".I`ll be sitting in the outside lane when they pull out,sit there for a bit until they decide it`s time to put me in my place and flash their lights,kick her down a gear and leave them for dead.If you`ve got good hearing you can hear the farting noise as their ego deflates.
Coming back from work a few years back on my Honda SLR650,lights red and a couple of guys in opposite lanes leaning out and shooting the breeze,I was filering slowly otherwise I`d be sitting between them at the line,was a car-length behind when the lights changed to Amber,couldn`t resist it and nailed her but good and shot down the middle between them,they should`ve been watching the lights,thought it best not to hang around and see the look on their faces,tempting as it was.

Not so hard with bricks in the panniers as that supposedly had

**moko** · 21st February 2004, 07:23

Brit mag Superbike wheelied an Electraglide in a roadtest a while back,then whinged that the clutch was crap,now why is that?

**FROSTY:Me** · 14th May 2004, 14:38

I think this poll shows how much interest there is in stunting

ohhh I dunno.. there's a fair bit of torque in a 1800cc engine! That is Ronnie smith riding that too who was a fairly freakin good rider before he got killed.

you guys have got to see the cd big dog has--anyone wanting to try stunting needs to see it --its real clear instructions on how to wheelie
how to do a good stoppie and a propper feet up donut
fantastic stuff

The TRE mod.first,you can cut the black wire,it has nothing to do with the neutral light(the light works by contacting earth itself....).
when I bought my gixx,they told me that I could do whatever I wanted but that they would look very hard at anything I did if it had a failure to be sure it wasn't the cause....
It only affects 1st 2nd and 3rd too(and the speed restriction on the busa and thou).
I have a great respect for anyone that can wheelie a Busa or 12 for a great distance,I could only ever manage a k or so on my 12,it was far to touchy to balance properly and I always ended up going 200+ in no time (I got to 250 a couple of times,but it was just too bloody fast to be on 1 wheel)
I remember a few years ago Jimmy in fastbikes(remember him?)wheeleing a valkerie( no passenger or bricks either...).....

Or "Shakey" Byrne in Holand wheelieing a 'Busa for 2 minutes at 140mph! Goal of mine is to write for Fast Bikes.

Not on the FahrtSturm it aint. Well, at least not until it has some Barnett clutch springs 'n bits fitted. Squeals like a stuck pig if you apply too much power when taking off (or trying to use it to get the front end up).
Luckily, it doesn't need clutching up.

Should have seen the look on the owner of an old HD Sportser that I accidently dif a mono on, not long but enough for others to see it sitting up on the hind wheel. Walked away, to neasreest toilet and checked me underwear all the same, was a total accident and never repeated, mind you I cant remeber if I was loaned that bike again or not!

**Bandito** · 14th June 2004, 20:18

Do I wheelie? hell I ride a Bandit so I wheelie whether i want to or not, First couple were accidental (kind of) but I started getting comfortable with them after awhile and who knows one day when i've broken enough speedo cables I may even get good at them.
