Hi Dave :)

Anything is possible, I've seen people wheelie scooters for miles (kms).

However, Swichbacks and Skitching are not what I'd call "basic".

Please, please, please be careful. this sort of stuff is dangerous.

As far as bikes go this sort of stuff puts a lot of stress on any bike, I like my R1 simply 'cause it doesn't seem to mind lugging my fat arse arround to much ( I think I'd kill a 250 simply 'cause I weigh too much :oops: )

Cheers

Paul

Corey...... only 400?

and out of curiosity, would you say the wheelie is the easiest stunt to perform? or the burnout?

Prowess could wheelie her Suzuki Across without too much effort. Put my 85+kg frame on it and things got a little more difficult. But sitting on the pillion seat it was fine. Now she is on a Katana its impossible to wheelie. Just a longer wheelbase and most weight up front.

I find burnouts a lot easier than wheelies. Just too expensive to do on my bike. :(

i could have sworn you were turning them at the last SS?
I thought circle burners would be hard, i just jumped into a circle one day and it felt natural...

god bless bike shops.... theyre more than willing to throw them at you as they have to pay a disposal tariff on the used rubber anyway 8)
