Sounds like win to me.

My Honda C50 pulls mean wheelies too, but it's a bit easier as there's a gear lever you can press down on to disengage the clutch... rev it out... let go and it pops back into first.

That's how I broke the original brake light. $40 for a new lens, will try not to do it again! 4.4hp@10,000rpm is a brutal thing when unleashed!

Sounds like its time to visit the bottom carpark again...

Does anyone else find it wryly ironic that this thread has moved off topic...

...onto discussing 12 o'clock wheelies on improbable machinery...

Internet forum dynamics win again!

BSA Bantam was *the* machine for 12 oclock wheelies.

Rev the engine as hard as y' dared, drop the clutch, up she'd come, slide backwards off the seat and run along behind the vertical bike.

No power, but heavy as flywheel will do it every time

Hey, what about a race on that basis? Running along behind a vertical wheelying motorbike. See, powerful machines will fail cos the runner won't be able to keep up.

It'd be a race until the carbs ran out of fuel?

Carburettor = Fail.

How about we ban having large amounts of quote boxes in our sigs that take up far too much room?

**Ixion** · 6th May 2009, 15:50

I don't display signatures.

Wynard street for scooter drags! Never actually seen a car on it and I think there's only the one little speedbump all the way down the end. But it'd be awesome.

Never actually seen a car on it? There are heaps of work vehicles etc always there! And I'm sure there are a few speed bumps too.

Will have to check tomo
