    Nice sounds, may have to keep this in mind..... You know of any source for these in NZ - I noticed the bike had NSW plates on it
    If your looking at Bike Comms, have a read of this review..

    Oh my God... here I go agreeing with you again! Not about handing yourself in...

    But about Drews wheelies not being Dangerous, part of being a responsible rider is knowing what your capabilities are and also where your limits lie before you cross that “line”… then applying your mind to making a decision on if something should/could be done safely…

    Drew made a call about his wheelies, as he does, he is a highly competent and skilled rider… Ceebie you made the same call by speeding….

    In my mind its the same decision.

    I should get the death penalty for that.

    That might have been the part I heard fall off after the wheelie. I was going to turn around but thought fuck it, it ain't my bike...

    Any bike store should be able to source one for you.

    Failing that, jump on http://www.korider.com/, there is a list of distributors from Korea and Australia.

    He he, that might be true, as long as the highway is straight.

    Rubbish, Joni! Highly competant and skilled he maybe, but Drew made a call to join forces and pop his wheelies in close proximity to two other bikes (regardless of their speed) and in so doing he could have instigated or simply been part of a dangerous situation if I had had to take evasive action for whatever reason.

    Yes, I was effectively speeding but I didn't make the call to show off my speeding prowess actually amongst or near other bikers.

    Fuck I saw a good near miss yesterday too. Both forum members as well.

    This little Nepalese prick on an R6 hits the front picks REAL hard on a short straight doing a rolling stoppie while the pommy homo on the Fireblade is hard up it practicing wheelies behind. How the hell he got around the stationary Yamahahahaha is beyond me but was a lovely display of high speed counter steering.

    I'd also like to say, that Drew, I value your wheelie skill above my own. Your are getting your shit well and truly sorted, no doubt about it. HOWEVER, if another biker says they aren't comfortable with you doin them near them and gives you an verbal bashing, ya gotta take it on the chin bro. No point trying to defend yourself.

    Bigger man woulda gone, "Point taken, I wont ride like that around you or even with you again. Sorry to put the shits up ya"

    For the record, wheelies are neither big nor clever and boozers are loosers.

    yes i relise that but on 1 wheel? at that sorta speed was just stating that it was pretty impressive to see in person do you not agree and yes i realise how fasr a r1 is, an a4 audi is pretty fast considering its a family station wagon. will definatly smoke the sti's and evos out there

    Wasn't arguing, and yup, gotta love watching a litrebike being well handled up on the back wheel. I'll get there one day!

    RS4s are good keen wagons, I'd 'ave one.

    I was making sure to stay well clear of yourself and fellow rider, the half mile antics you speak of had clear road for twice the distance with no other traffic AT ALL!!!

    To be clear it wasn't practice, I've done enough of it to know when it's cool, and when it's dumb.

    To some up... if I was testosterone driven in my antics, what's your fuckin excuse for doin 160ks with a pillion when I did the first wheelie and couldn't get past you? You double standard types give me the shits!!!
    your a danger to everyone, quick givee me ur motorbike, you obviously cant ride for shit.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
