Wheelies are one of those things that are honestly best learned either on the dirt or in a big parking lot with a bike you don't care about dropping...his choice of practice location isn't exactly ideal.

Spiffness posted:Fuckin sweet! Can you walk us through your technique? I clench my legs against the tank like a woman forcing a man to ejaculate inside her, and then dump the throttle, and throttle it up really quick. It bounces the front shocks and if you give it enough gas will lift up.

I rode a friend's Aprilia Falco and it was like easy mode for wheelies...just roll it on in first and it'd loft the front, easy as can be. I'm a little suprised jack's 1k doesn't do that...my racebike will pop the front with a quick snap of throttle in first. Same with my street SV.

Funiest Top Gear I've seen, they take a beat up Minsk, Vespa and Honda Cub from the south of Vietnam to the north. Jeremy Clarkson learns how to ride. Scroll to episode 8: http://hessmo.com/Hessmo/TG_Season_12.html

Its not that suprising, if you were transplanted straight out of the 80's, you'd lowside that bike too.

I saw the picture in that issue and was very sad. No one gave him hell over it either since he's essentially a riding god.

Sounds pretty mediocre to me, needs some new pipes to really get a feel for it. KTM has forever ruined me for motorcycle promotional videos, that one sucked. Oh god, the bike is so fast it blew that papers out of that guys hands! Or is it that the bike causes hand opening seizures?

Oh god, the bike is so fast it blew that papers out of that guys hands! Or is it that the bike causes hand opening seizures? Yeah, I know what you mean. But I can hear the sound of it coming out in the track part. It sounds really dull in the first part of the video for some reason. I just want to ride one  Edit: http://smrfmobile.2ya.com/  Click here for the full 1536x1152 image.  Apparently the chick that rides it is absolutely batshit insane. Insane enough that the shop that installed the trike kit refuses to do any more work for her (thusly the ****** rather than the name of the shop)...oh and she has a handicapped plate because she's short. (5'0). No physical problems. Oh and the bike now doesn't go over 45mph up a hill now.
