Look on the bright side, if this were a US site everyone'd be talking about "backing it in" :) Just to be perverse, I salute your attempts to improve your skid control. I've no real objection to a bit of honest tw**tery, as long as it doesn't risk other people, which it doesn't sound like it did. I don't do it myself, because tyres and bike bits are expensive and I fall off enough without :)

OOh! The safety brigade's out :smt038
Lets see...Someone locks the rear wheel up and the brigades out yet we have others doing wheelies on car-filled roads and everyone stays schtoom :scratch:


Makes sense...dunnit :?:

I want a new set of tyres - but not chain sprockets, clutch and fairings :roll: - any suggestions for fun?

Personally, wheelies are no different than locking the back end up, except that the latter costs more (unless you blow your engine in a wheelie).

I've locked the back up before now, and I've done wheelies before now. I can't honestly think of a time when i've done either of those intentionally, which probably goes to show how much of a novice I still am on the bike.

Both on purpose and accidentally, IMO, it's not worth it. Which would be why I've not done it to excess.

I stand by my earlier comments, and yes, I accept that Sorchio has now said that it was a 'slow' move coming up to lights.

Has "baiting" taken off on this forum yet ? I gather the "holier than thou" crowd are just having a laugh.

I don't condone wheelies on public roads either... :wink:

Hmmm Fairfax Rd Colchester

Wheelies....stoppies....burn ups.....knee down....going fast......but the real question is.........



















So fooking what? :lol:

If Loris did a wheelie, you'd think it was cool. :lol:

Now Lukey don't be a cheeky chappie! :wink: I think Mr. Scorpio has a little way to go before being mentioned in similar sentences to the Bologna Battler! :)

Nothing really... just killing some time...
