Gah! Clicked too early, vid still processing. Confused

Edit: Ok, watched it.

I know jack about wheelies but it seems to me you need to giving it slightly more beans just before you 'pop' the clutch.

Wow, I would hardly call that a bike meet! seems like you hang around with a bunch of "l platers" that have no respect and give bikers a bad name. Lets not mention your confidence/ cockyness is exceeding your abilities, it certainly would not surprise me if you have an accident in the near future.
Thumbs Down

Didn't see this.

Was playing with 2 Thundercats, one was coming fairly close. What you don't see is one flying up the inside, me checking my shoulder to see one right up my chuff. Shit pants, target fixation and then that happened Laughing

"lick arse" ? wasn't aware I commented saying anything along the lines off "OMG babe, you are so good, please tell me how your friends became such good 'bikers'?" No, i didn't think so. Rolling Eyes

Come on, OP hasn't got much chances on a bike, look at him fail and drop it not anticipating a car to pull out of a parking space. Doh!

Poor obs and his showing off to little 50 and 125 riders showing how fast his 650CC is. Laughing

Oh wait, he has crashed... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhO06eBkfTI Rolling Eyes

You failed at the first step.

Because the first step to learning to wheelie is to actually find your nearest local abandoned airfield to practice on, instead of just lamenting that you can't be arsed to find one, then trying out on a road full of other people's shiney, cherished cars or a CCTV-laden Tesco car park.

It would have maybe helped if he pulled his clutch in. Fair play for getting full licence though Thumbs Up

Well first and foremost poor obv and the fact he reacts very late will not help the situation which could have maybe been avioded if he took notice of the indicators and also slotted back into the left hand lane after filtering past the car. Secondly, according to both of my past instructors (driving and riding) when doing the emergency stop you should engage the clutch a short time after engaging the brakes. Don't ask me about the mechanical side because I don't have a clue!

No doubt, someone on here will correct it for me

if you think pulling in the clutch would've helped the rider, then you have no business being on a bike, never mind telling op how to ride one. Thumbs Up
