135mph wheelie
 

I didn't mean to do it, but the road kinda dipped away as I was accelerating hard up the local bypass.

Fun fun fun

I was riding my mate's R1, not my SV650 or CBR600

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

so lozzo, if you now get 6 points for doing 90 in a 70 you'll get 12 points in total:plod:, ah on one wheel you say, so divide that by two = 6 points.:thumright:

That law hasn't been passed yet. I am going to make the most of it while I can.

This country gets more like a safety-nazi dictatorship every day

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Awesome :cool:

"Yes occifer, my front tyre is flat... I'm just trying to get to the garage as soon as possible to reduce the risk of me coming off" :lol:

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

On your own private local bypass of course.

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Oh of course ;):p

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Awesome!

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Of course, I forgot to mention that.

Should any officers of the law be reading this thread, the original post was purely a figment of my imagination and should only be treated as such. The rest of you can treat it any which way you like :-).

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Thank you, I feel all warm and proud now.

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

:lol:

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

iv done a 85mph of a crest... that was "fun"

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

My highest speed one was at Donington Park on my old Gixer thou. As you go under the bridge approaching Goddards there's a rise and fall in the track, the Gixer would go skywards at 145mph there. Mucho hilarity

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Good work, how long did you "keep it up" for?

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Yes it had the same effect on me when I was told that. Good innit. :lol:

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Oh my god that is it, think of all the people you coulda hurt if you came off or lost it....

Whadda I care, you didn't, so coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool :) Can you teach me to do it at that speed and not poo myself lol.

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

You need an R1 or similar to do it properly. If you catch it right you can just hold a steady throttle for as long as you like with the front in the air, which is my prefered method. I held this one for at least half a mile, but at 135mph that doesn't take long to cover.

P.s. Plowsie - I did get the pm and the text. Game on, I'll be in contact to arrange things closer to time.

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

So you're saying you did a balance point wheelie then?

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

It got to the point where I felt comfortable and didn't need to make drastic adjustments to the revs - it stayed pretty much where I wanted it to be on a steady throttle. If that's the balance point, then so be it. It did feel like it could have gone higher, but I wasn't about to try. I don't like chopping the throttle to keep the front wheel up as it never feels like I'm anywhere near in control.

Wheelies really aren't my thing, but every now and then I manage to pull a spectacular one out of the bag almost by accident. The last time was nearly 2 1/2 years ago on my Gixer Thou at about 110, when I overtook my ex on her Bandit 650 and kept it going for about 3/4 mile.

One of my mates instructs at Paul Gower's Wheelie School and he's given me and others some good tips. He told us about not chopping the throttle open and closed to keep it up.

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

I've been meaning to get some of the girls from the TVSF up to Gower's school - might have to cancel plans for the TT so I have enough leave to do it though.

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

You are all CRAZY :notworthy:

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

You treating us with a day out :?: Hey I'm in.

Re: 135mph wheelie
 

Nice wheelie I guess. :smt003

Why do we need more speeding penalties. Sigh.
