In all the excitment of passing my Motorbike theory test 1st time round yesturday morning I went on a motorbiking "Mad en"
The evening started after finishing work at 6 and riding home on the RS to take my suite off and stick ones leathers on, went out for a tootle around on the old bike but soon god board due to excessive amounts of old bill lurking around every corner.
Decided to take a little trip a local industrial estate to piss around, attempting wheelies, stoppies etc etc etc - On route to the mentioned I came to an island which is a pretty quiet but fast island, so I decided it was time to see if ones knee will get anywhere near the floor. Well it did, but not quite far enough, 4 or 5 circuits of the island later, feeling slightly worse for wear and dizzy i continue on route to this industrial estate completely wiping the floor with a Nova, Corsa and 2 punto's.
I gets to the industrial estate and it was as dead as a dodo, I pulled over to the side moving slowly just toying with the clutch and exactly how far it could be pushed and started ones little journey up and down, several times I slapped open the throttle and dumped the clutch with nowt happening apart from pulling off like a steam train and revving the bollocks off it.
several attempts later and somthing magical happend!!
The front wheelie rose like a demon.
The following attempt, and pow!! it rose again, and again and again. It was like a breath of fresh air!
The best of it was, no yanking the bike up either, i have mastered it so it comes up nice and gently. (Sort of )
With the satisfaction of being able to pull a wheelie by choice and the grin from ear to ear I set off home only to be anialated by a citreon saxo off the lights and over the quarter mile.
To top all this excitement off my DAS is booked for the 3rd and 4th of July!!!  ____________________ Suzuki VL Intruder 125cc - September 2004 to July 2005
