The good old bad old days!

I wonder if Shakey would do it all again now?

I’ve got the video stashed away. It’s a bit of hooliganery fun - of its time.

Only watched the first 5 minutes so far & noticed that when the 'Busa got it up, it didn't stay up for long, while the other bikes seemed to pop it up with ease.

Is that a reflection on the average 'Busa rider?

I could keep it up to the 1000ft mark apparently

I used to be able to keep it up all night.

I've watched some on my break today, I'll watch the rest later but what I found amazing was the ease with which they pulled the wheelie!!

I've never particularly triec6, I'm too scared of dropping it, but I've given it full beans in all gears and never had the front lift up!!!

What am I doing wrong?

More a case of 'what are you doing right'!

Maybe I should have asked what do I need to do to do it wrong?

Second gear.. take it up to 7k, shut throttle and snap open real quick,,, watch out for sky, then arse and road interface !!

Good to know. I wont be trying it. Like I said, I'm too scared of the arse/road interface!

Never tried deliberately to get the front wheel up as I've never had a bike that I didn't mind crashing as i practice, or the money to put it right after.
Still I did watch a video where a guy was wheelieing a bird and he did it by giving it a sharp burst of power, shutting of and as the bike dipped giving it another burst and up it came. Can't remember for sure but think he was in second. This was from a fairly slow starting speed
