Yes, nice! With riding skills like those, are you planning on taking the front end off to save weight, Michael? 8) ;D

No but it does save on tyre wear/costs 🤣🤣🤣
Those were the days, thing of the past now for me I'm afraid. Although I was a bit of a demon at those sit down wheelies when I had my XL125 back in the day, used to go right up through the gear box and go for a mile or so. Ahh those WERE the daze😉😉
I'm far to sensible now you know😁😁

Nice one. I could never do a proper wheelie (on purpose) but loved the 1200 Bandit and the 350LC for lifting the front end on acceleration  ;D

Yes my suzook TL1000s was the same Steve, struggled to keep the front wheel down when accelerating.... shame it had the weirdest handling otherwise I'd have probably kept it longer than I did at the time

Never wheelied in my life - popped, under acceleration or otherwise  :'(  However, I did get airborne once, over a hump back bridge whose warning sign had been overgrown with greenery!

The fact that I didn't turn around for a 2nd go tells you all you need to know!

Clearly not that good a wheelie king Tim, because if he had av been he would have been able to control landing of his front wheel, at least to some degree of finesse. No blown head race bearings that way.

Have to say I rather like it , bet it's going to cost a fortune though as all things hipster are these days . Why is it you buy a bike strip half the bits of it and resell it at twice the price ? I don't get it !
Must be me  :o
