    Wheelie Zone

    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):

    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.

    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)

    It was!

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