How Far!???

Recently I have parked my bike on a uphill slope ( very very slight slope).
When I need to drive away I freewheel astern and down the slope.
Line up for the road and away I go.
Silly question, but I have been trying to freewheel down the slope without touching the ground with my feet.
How far can you go ???
My best is just short of a meter, say 2.1/2 ft.
Very Happy

You're going to lose your balance one day and end up on the deck with your bike on top of you, please upload a video when it happens.

You mean, you are free wheeling backwards? Not forwards.

Because if forwards I live on top of a huge hill and often just set off in neutral and let the bike warm up, whilst I get to the bottom.

However I do often play traffic light balance, where I lift both feet just off the ground and count how long I can keep the bike straight, without having to put a foot down, I reckon my best is over 20 seconds.

Funnily enough, I was always the kid at school/uni and now work meetings who tries to balance on his chair for long periods.

I guess I too are odd.

Yeah he means backwards.

I used to bmx a lot and riding fakie (backwards) was something I used to enjoy. Never tried it on the R6 though, bit more expensive if I drop it.

I read this thread last night and thought wtf. I've read it again now and finally understood what OP was trying to ask. Confused

I can manage about 2 car lengths, get it in gear and set off forwards (on a good day)

it's how I get out of my office parking space on a daily basis
