Aye ?

I dont know how to wheelie mate and I wont ever do wheelies on my MV Agusta 750 F4 cos she's so precious to me so I cant risk her at any stake.

I can pop the front up on my GSXR, but I can't keep it up (insert dirty joke here) because I don't have the skills. You do it on your bike and I'll watch. I can't promise the video won't end up on bestgore.com, however.

What do you mean? You are on Kiwibiker. You get all the best advices no other forum can offer.

Speaking of wheelie advice...

Keep Calm And... Yut Ughhh!

So far, GPS says 195 on main straight of Ruapuna, I really need some more brave pills for that last corner...

**Jantar** · 30th December 2013, 16:27

I had to go into town today to get a new front tyre, so on the way I decided to check the top speed. Sure enough 104 kmh indicated, but the GPS only said 94. I mentioned it to the mechanic at the bike shop and he suggested 104 would be about right. Apparently the bike will go faster if I change out of 1st gear, but according to the police there are no roads in New Zealand where I can do that without instantly killing myself.

Parts of my bike have attained somewhere up to Mach 0.855 (920 km/h)^*

^*Depening on the actual plane they were in at the time.

It's not an infringement notice. It's a Traffic Offence Notice. Infringements only go up to 50 over.

Silly me. Nick picking knobend.

The ground speed could even have exceeded Mach 1!

The easiest way of all is to just shift you butt back an inch or two from your normal riding position. There's no need to clutch or do anything fancy then, it does require quite a conscious effort though and can feel like a bit if a stretch to the bars...
Don't do wheelies these days as you have to be doing them often to be good/safe at it then it can still go pear shaped easy... Like a foot slipping off a peg on a private road while a mates zx6 is synchronously wheeling alongside and taking off his indicator which is rather close to the handlebar...
It's cool while its all going right but it goes wrong for many, like another mate who flipped his TZR250 then to add insult to injury got charged with careless riding causing injury... To himself!
