We should stand tall



power to the penguins i SAY !

Rona and I will stand tall for ya! (Sorry buddy, I couldn't resist). Hope the op went OK and you can still WHEELIE!

[Morcs]

Dont bother with it then just use the wrist.

Exactly.

Using the clutch to wheelie is a strange idea.

I pulled a nice one off the line at the drags hehe

The 400 hasn't got the strength for it, the clutch is the only way to get it up. Pretty sure I've warped the plates

I only lifted the front once (and it too was by accident) on the day I borrowed a 636 Ninja at Puke I was getting comfortable on the bike in the last session of a track day, just came out of the corner and onto the back straight and gave it a mitful. Front came up "Oh shit!" front came back down and started wobbling "Oh Shiiiiiiit!!" lay flat on the tank and the wobble went away. Nice.

First time the front leaves the ground and you get some head shake. Not fun. I've had a few moments on the CBR that I'm sure would have been scary but for the clever steering damper controlling a wiggle that could have been a waggle.

Was your wheelie about a few inches off the ground?

You know the things is, when you first start learning how to wheelie, your brain exaggerate the wheel lift higher than it really is.

Anyhow, keep up the good work!

You'll get used to Jimjim. He likes making up stories. The carload of boyracers was probably Edna and Mildred on their way to bowls.


He's from Dunedin you know.

I found my first boot sliding by accident incedent much more poo prevoking than my first wheele.

Just me though.

id rather see the time spent on cornering....yes even on a straight...

[vifferman]

Wheelies are big and clever.
Unless, of course, they're small and clever.

[vifferman]

We should stand tall, proud and united and say to the KB masses.... FARK YOU and your nanny state. Keep your smacking laws, your over sulphated diesel; your overly taxed salaries. The right to choose which fish and chips you eat from without knowing if the gubbermunt has specified which oil, how teh salt comes packaged or how many you're allowed per sitting.

Well said, Sir!
