theyre really cool, a pivoting bike, with engine, on a roller....allows you to wheelie when not going anywhere :-)
probably the best thing to learn on......
not very good at offroading on tho.... ;-)

wheelie machines take up about as much room as a trailer. that would be a good thing to learn on! you can watch one in action here..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dLSRhtgy9w
ive heard a rumour that there will be a lesson by someone on here.....taking place....somewhere near Tidworth.....leaving the Tidworth Petrol Station at 8pm on Friday 30th July......
its just a runour mind you, but if it was true all are welcome..... hint hint ;-)
Sounds good to me ;)
Thanks for tonights lesson, lots for me to think about and practice. Need to get bike serviced, played up all the way home :(
There's a contraption that bolts to your bike so you can learn to wheelie safely without the fear of a 200kg bike falling on top of you.
I'm sure I've seen it in the back of a bike mag and I think they're only £150. We may need to get Darren at the Sally to buy one for when we're all down the pub on a thursday and charge a few quid a go [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Failing that, you could always forget everything you've been taught whilst riding and balls up a 'pullaway' from the lights at high speed cos I find that's a good way to get the front end up :D
is he on here too???.... ;-)Quote:

i would also be prepared to show the owners some great tracks across salisbury plain (offroading) and also help with the maintenance too........
i think Monster man should start a list of potential owners...
think Noaksy was interested before when the shared offroader was suggested....
(only one note, a 600cc offroader JUST as an offroader is a big beast....BUT it makes a DAM good wheelie tool)....[/quote]
Interested Owner add name below [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Pulled 2 already with my wife on the back (by accident!!) Well the front end got all light and skippy, and that was from just pulling off fast on the clutch.....it was a blur, mind!
Might as well learn what's going on
