me and 'the original' are booked up with the jimmy fireblade wheelie school. can't wait

anyone done one before, this one in particular?

 

wow id love to do that' this guy has been around for an age lol

 

lol i deffo would love to go to a wheelie school ,

will have to get pics and a report up from the day ,

beef

 

I can get it up alright but i have trouble keeping it going

 

Im the same. I'd like to try wheelie school too but not sure if theres much more they can teach you if you can already get the front end up, as its just a case of practicing and getting a feel for it which cant be taught imo.

Be interested to hear peoples experiences from this school though probably be a great day out with the lads!

 

I think you have a bar on the back of the bike at first to stop you flipping and get good control on the throttle

 

haha its not exactly on a motorbike but its still a wheelie

well my problem is , getting it up and keeping it up ,

ive poped a few wheelies on crossers /thumpers ,

but i just have that deep seated paranoia of flipping it ,

my brother on the other had and get on anything and just hang it all the way down the road ,


fucking wanker ,

i would really want to have a craxk at one of these days ,

pref before i pick my r1 up from big lee ,

 

I'm a fucking pussy with wheelies and DESPERATELY want to learn

Its one thing i'm keen to do this year and have taken the first steps by going 2 teeth up on the rear to use power to lift. I'll try that and get used to the front coming up before learning to clutch it etc.




I'm not sure which is which but one school uses a wire that hangs from the back and if it touches the ground it kills the power and brings it back down. IIRC you can buy the kit too!

 

Chop what bike you got? on my old cbr 6 i just used to go along in 1st @ about 30mph come off the gas and straight back on and up she came' just when i tried to kick it in to 2nd it would just drop back down

 

its actualy so much further back on balance point than you would think

you think its going over but it isnt

its actualy much easier to do stopies

i've tried the off on throttle on my old cbr 6. Do it now on this bike and gearing and it'll go mental i reckon. Should lift on straight full throttle.

 

Thats nice pal ... and OMG that race bike exhaust


i want another bike now

 

your mad jacko, i can wheelie all day long,its just about making your head believe everything is ok. Stoppies on the other hand! I cannot get my head around, it feels like the fkrs going to somersault! But once you have got your head around the balance point its a canter!

Oh i cant wait to get home........

 

beleave it or not mate the faster you enter a stopie the easier it is

my missus is on nights tonight but ill get her to put my vid of me up im on me old gixer1000 doing wheelies dougnouts stoppies and my mate is doing reverse doughnouts in his s2 turbo about 10 feet away from me it looks quite good

 

I wont be able to see it mate, still in angola and the connections shite. Basically a dial up connection......

Wait a sec, you can build me the car of my dreams but you cant put a vid on the computer yersel ya daft lump!!!

 

I know the guy that owns this school personally, he's an old school mate of my cousins, only live ten minits away from me. Its a great day out, You use his 600 Bandits and the bar on the back is to cut the ignition to stop you flipping, He'll even do some stuff on your own bike if you want him to

Its based at east kirkby airfield, they do lots of drag racing down there throughout the year. Same lot that run the scooby shootout thing
