    Hard to find good cameramen these days...

    This reminds me of a conversation I had with Raj aka YamahaR64life about the difference in wheeling a R6 and a R1, and it applies to other 600cc/1000cc bikes.

    When Raj wheelies his R6 he mentioned that the bike's redline stops it from flipping where as on the R1 it just keeps going and going and gone. The comparison is pretty simple where on the R6 near 12 o clock he'd be redlining it, on the R1, 7,8,9,10k revs, still going up!

    Yep. Should have just stood back and filmed his dumb ass bleeding all over the pavement for a few seconds before going to help.

    I'm quite certain you could still flip an R6, or any 600 for that matter...

    Dedication - the wheelie-ee had enough of that to make Rambo 5. The cameraman just needed focus and a steady hand...

    Well, just keeping the camera pointed at the action would have been fine. It's ok to start running - as long as you don't shake the camera too much.

    It's funny how long it actually takes these people to catch on when they see their mates getting into trouble.

    -Bike wheelies.
    -Bike crashes.
    -Wait...
    -Penny drops.
    -'Oh shit!', 'Fuck, fuck, fuck.', 'Your dad's going to kill you...', etc.

    No brain
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
