Poor bike Sad

I suppose it makes sense to allow people to practice/understand the throttle control and vertical balance in a controlled environment ... getting a bike THAT vertical for real, lets face it is going to end in many tears in the learning if it was done normally ...

Its actually a neat idea ...


Oh and that dumb bint was showing a classic example of using to low a gear Wink

They aren't using it to learn to wheelie though - when you start out I'm pretty sure you don't stand on the pillion footpegs, hence having no rear break control. They're just trying to be kool init.

How many people though will go on that machine , and think they are wheelie pros, after a go on that.

Its a good idea for a bit of fun , but im sure there will be some who go home and try it for real.

and the get out on the road and bin it.

I think you could make a fair bit of cash at bike shows running one of them for say £5 a go Wink

But I can't see 'stunters' buying one for themselves ...

The 'wheelie school' might buy one though ... it'd be cool to let the students on one of them before one of their adapted wheelie bikes ...

I'd love to have a go on one of them just to see if it feels anything like the real thing.

For the record the real thing on my bike scares me shitless cos it needs bucketloads of revs in first gear to get anywhere Sad
