Richard is shouting "Good picture! But surely us Britons drive on the left side of the road?"

nice, looks like u need to get up into the seat a bit more, like balancing a snooker cue, weight at the top, easier to balance.

EDIT: my mistake looks like you got it dialed keep it up.... litterly!

am gettin there with clutch wheelies, i used to wheelie off the throttle but i dont get very far, i wanna learn to clutch an change gear when up. better on a 600 tho rather than a 20yr old 400.

Yeah i can bring it up off the power or clutch it in 1st, carry it through 2nd and sometimes knock it into 3rd and keep it up. But the Hornet is a bloody ace wheelie bike which helps a lot.

The Diversion looks a bastard to wheelie, and the front just comes down as soon as he puts it into 2nd, not enough power me thinks.

I can now change in second while in the air
i was out tonight giving it a few goes and i got it quite high in 1st and just knocked it into second without using the cluctch and i mangaged to keep it upo for at least 50 metres . I dont think its possible to clutch it up in second for some reason
