Hey Mate,
Your not ridding a red apprilla now are ya?
Just i was riding home past your pad and some chap on a red aprilla returned my usual nod then did a power wheelie and waved at me :)

I hate to admit i was most impressed/envious but wondered if that was you upto your old tricks or just some random joe :)

Obviously not trying hard enough then. Obviously you wouldnt do it on a public road, as that would be dangerious.

Its like those conundrums, if a tree falls in a forest but no one hears it does it make any noise?

Likewise if you wheelie on a public road and there is no one there to see you (pull you over) did you really wheelie on a public road :)

very good point :thumbsup:

Ape didnt have an Aprillia last Friday at soho and he hast posted up any "look at my new bike" posts yet so maybe just on a mates bike?

Hall13, best place to practice wheelies is at wheelie school mate. I plan to do it sometime this year...costs about 300 quid, but you get to learn on specially designed Bandit 1200's !!!

Burnouts are best practiced in a carpark after-hours. There must be some industrial estates about you...or B&Q etc carparks?

What you do is run down the road and pick your bike back up off the floor. Assess the damage and decide that with two broken brake levers you had better ride home (very carefully) instead of going to the Soho meet. Not that I am speaking from experience obviously.

Physco, unless you happened to be in NEWBURY on the day you saw me pull a wheelie on a bike that I don't own then I guess you have made a visual error, as I moved here last year. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
