Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Also this probably sounds stupid (especially since I have a SM) but I’ve never been able to wheelie. Many years riding but my only focus was to get better in canyons.

I think this winter I’m going to focus on wheelies. I tried reving up a bit and then half dumping the clutch just to see what it was like. I feel like this is going to be a long road.

 

Wheelies on SM’s are easier than street bikes imo.

 

im still not very good. but that bike should do it without an issue even just rolling on the throttle 1-3 gear. to do a clutch up its more of a throttle twist and flick the clutch at the same time. not a dump

agreed. way easier

 

That slide was sketch!

 

And before all the track nazis come in here giving me crap...

 

My everything puckered on that slide.

 

I wish I was better at that. I don’t need to drag my hand but I suuuck once that hand comes off the bars. I’ve tried some drills here and there riding on handed. No chance leaned over like that though.

 

Just gotta lock your lower body on the bike with your legs. I lock my outside leg. If you can do that you can be super light on the bars(best way to corner)

 

1000rr?

 

600

 

Love those bikes

 

It’s a great bike, It has 30k hard miles and I’ve literally only put a battery in it and had the front forks seal done.

 

3rd gear, cliff side, race bike, old street tire that had been sitting in garage for a few years that was heat cycled to the moon. . . didn't appreciate the turn lol.. had i highsided...

Watch lots of youtube video totorials before you even leave the house. Wear lots of gear. And be prepared to fuck up. Everyone does.

Other than that, have any questions, just ask in a PM because otherwise will likely make us have motorcycle BS thread 3.0

 

troof.

I recommend a dirtbike and a nice grassy field though

 

Nice chilly night to ride.

 

Bikes do love that cold air!

 

But my fingers and joints dont lol

 

Throw a hoochie on the back to keep you warm.
