Oh yeah, best wheelie 'post-accident'!!

Have you got a camera? If not I should be able to borrow one.... if we have multiple camera's we can do the Jackie Chan style, show the same footage from different angles to give more affect, shot.

Yup, got a Canon Digital camera with a 512mb card, good for about 20mins of footage in 640 by 480. Need a good camera man though, sounds like you might be the man michael.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to onearmedbandit again.

I hate that rule!!!


It's guys like you that I have a heap of respect for.
My wife's grandfather is much the same, he's lost both of his legs but still got a great outlook on life. He even wants me to take him for a ride on the bike (he use to ride way back in the day).



Just don't go hurting yourself again!

Full marks and a DB to that man. Well written too. You really described the buzz you get when it just sits up there. Anyone else noticed that the thrill of a wheelie doesn't fade over time like some other bike thrills and non bike stuff. Long may it last.

I'm always keen, we try to finish work before three everyday, and no work on weekends. Uni doesn't start back intill the 21st and when that starts I will have even more time.

Multiple camera angles would be cool, then I can edit them into a profesional looking clip.

How are your stoppies?

[onearmedbandit]

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it!!

My stoppies are starting to come right, have got the back wheel off the deck at about 60km/h a couple of times, held it for a bit but still need some more pratice. Once I get them downpacked along with the wheelies, through in a couple of corner vids, could be quite a good video I think. Must get out and pratice pratice pratice.

OAB...... must of been the day for it, cos I clicked 2nd while riding 1st out for the 1st time today aswell, can get it up in 2nd but I've never changed gear due to being a little over cautious like ya self.

So heres a question for the wheelie kings..... what do you guys find easier a V2 or a multi? and why?

Multis.

Better and longer spread of power and alot smoother. V-twins run out of puff a bit quick.

Well done OAB. You deserve respect and credit of the highest degree.

Well done and I hope all goes well and you get even better

Each time you gain back something you lost is a major milestone, it's one more thing that hasn't been robbed from you.
Can't wait to see some footage, if it comes out really well you might be able to flick it off to a bike DVD maker. Cover your costs
