Ripe Bin action!! woot.

[Coyote]

but now I havto streetfighter my ZZR

not all bad

[loosebruce]

Bad luck on the bin bro, hope that you might wear full gear next time though, bear in mind i stepped off the back of my TL at close to 200kph and walked away with only two broken hands, which is pretty good i reckon, almost sounds like you got off worse, but then again maybe we should compare bikes and see which is worse :confused2

On another note, wheelie a ZZR250, respect is due, the poor clutch

[zooter]

Apparently my gsx1100g shafty tourer, heavy as hell, will do a smoking wheelie if I were to rev her up to 9k and drop clutch in 1st. Will I give it a go? Not bloody likely!!!

[avgas]

teh woot, go out with a bang.
Streetfighters are the way my friend.

[StoneChucker]

oh if you want to have a go on mine your more than welcome if I see you on a KB ride.

Thanks mate. I probably wouldn't subject your bike to the possible torture I could inflict I'm still a "Learner Wheelier". Thanks for the offer though

Feel the same way about wheelies on "Roxanne" I've only had the front wheel off the ground twice. Both powering up going over a raise in the road (back wheel left the ground as well one of the times going over one of the Kawakawa bridges). The only true wheelie I've done was on the little GSXR250, reving it's guts out and dropping the clutch.

Yeah bummer about the lower leg, the bike and the knee, hope you come right soon. Now for the purpose of my post, was your wheelie:
a) A power wheelie (not likely)
b) A clutchy wheelie
c) A cresting wheelie. (when you reach the peak of a rise, and you've already got upward momentum, and the power keeps the front of the bike going up).

Just interested. Let us know, cause I can only do cresting wheelies, with the odd very small clutch wheelie.

nothing but clutch - I think I was around 12k then when I redlined and hit the limiter it started coming down, then my backend went.. sad but shit happens.

I think my gearbox has suffered abit though as its abit resentfull to slip into 1st from nuetral, although I was just testing it this morning checking full damage, so it was probably just due to no oil floating around.

all I can say is dont underestimate tourers :P

[aff-man]

Shit mate... glad you didn't come off to bad.

Props for managing to get the zzr's wheel off the ground. I got a nice one (about 50cm off the ground) and managed to hold it for 15-30 metres. Pretty fun but you gotta make sure you know where all the bumps in the road are.... Tried one once and had the back "bounce" made the laning quite interesting aye




(on another note maybe next time you can use ANT as wheelie balast hahahaha make them a bit easier aye )
