One Wheeled Weekend Fun

[Zed]

Zed,I think on the TL (or any other fairly powerful bike) you'd be better off to get the hang of pulling her up in second before trying to shift gears...

I agree totally, but Mr dss3 "doesn't like the idea of clutching it up" so he'll have to start in 1st gear I presume.

...Having said that,you can go a long way in second without changing once you get your balance sorted.....

Yeah, but after a while you *need* to extend that distance without revving the crap out of your bikey

I can get 2+ km in second......
He should be able to get the TL up in second without the clutch.....

[NC]

I like doing wheels and stoppies, but I'd hate to smash the NC up

I'll have to slow it down a bit then and define my balance point!

You reckon? Tell Loosebruce that!

Id have trouble forgiving you, If you think you might smash it up just let me look after it for a while

The man speaks the truth Zed, you can get a TL up in 2nd without the clutch, i just prefer to clucth it up, off the throttle i believe is the way to go, gas her up then back off and crack it open again and up she comes, in theory anyway, a man with the experiance of Death it'd be second nature to him.

BTW Dss3 i have a spare 15T sitting in my toolbox, you want it, it's yours, makes 1st gear pretty scary to a newbie, 2nd gear on the power, just have to keep an eye the cahin doesn't start chewing into the swing arm, otherwise the 16T on a TL is the way to go starting out i reckon, $20 - 25 or so.

Mono on people (safely of course) and uh on the track where it's legal......
