Wheelie Zone

[p38arover]

I did a session on the Wheelie Zone machine today. I wanted to learn how to control a wheelie if I accidentally popped one. I've never been able to wheelie.

I took a video of my session but it needs editing and uploading - two more things I don't know how to do. :(

This is the machine (with someone else riding):

same as on a pushy, just lean to the turn and forwards to end it right?

:eek:

Looks like a fun machine, and somewhat safer than trying to manage the phenomenon on a road. Which by the way I have had to do at inconvenient moments in the past. A Honda Goldwing ( on loan from a mate) that suddenly decides to loft its front wheel is one hell of a handfull when you are 5 foot 6 and 9 stone, lol.

Dave, that's the theory, doesn't always work out so well in practice.:(

Wow! Amazing machine. :eek:

It's hard to lean forward to end it with a motorbike as the weight, speed and momentum keep you pushed back.

You need to push the rear brake to get it down again. ;)

I 'accidently' poped a nice one on my bike the other day. . . unfortunetley I also lost my foot of the brake. . in turn. . . need a new tail light and water pump housing :S

good part though I landed on my feet standing in the middle of the road looking at my bike beside me on the ground, picked it up and kept riding ;) (untill i ran out of coolant and had to grab a ute :S)

I think we've all done that! :(

:D

Wow that is crazy, even though the bike is mounted it would be a bit hairy at first untill you got the hang of it.

[p38arover]

It was!

As soon as I work out how to edit the video I took of my feeble efforts, I'll post it.

I haven't tried yet. I have no idea as to what software to use.
