So What Did You Do Today On A Bike, That You've Never Done Before?

[dandoolittle]

So I went for a 'spirited' ride out with some chosen friends. It was a ride with no cameras etc for a reason.

Nearly 200 miles done in under 4 hours..

So today I jumped a GSXR 1000 l5 over a hump, both wheels and I must admit.. It felt nice


I then didn't want to jump another hump as I hate my front wheel up, so I put my weight on the bars but ended up lifting my rear wheel lol

So a few power wheelies, one jump and one endo over a hump.. Not bad

I got so close to wheelie-ing my VTX today. I could probably do it if I could man up and pull on the handlebars.

Pull on the bars?

Pull on the bars?

You giggling too?

Pull on the bars?

I've always heard to wheelie a cruiser you have to yank up on the bars a little.

Also, don't make the obvious joke.

 

[dandoolittle]

Tried a stand up wheel first?

There's many jokes one could derive from that!

Engine is the best and strongest thing to lift the front of a bike.

No, I thought about shifting back to the rear seat a little though

Lol yeah I tend to set myself up quite a bit. One of my co-workers asked me to show him how I would eat a burrito with no hands..... I fell for it .

That engine just doesn't have enough oomph to lift my fat self off the ground lol.

Stand up wheels are way easier. Although never tried on a cruiser

Good way to start

I can't get my head around stand up wheelies

I don't like wheelies to be honest so don't bother, except power wheelies

You should shoot a video of you practicing cruiser wheelies. Either you succeed and it's awesome or you fail and it's awesome. Good video either way.

Search YouTube for Triumph Rocket III wheelies. That's a hell of a big bike to wheelie!

Lol I've thought about doing that. I keep getting closer and closer to having that front wheel off the ground

Just make sure you don't 'act up' for the camera and chuck your bike down a hill/bin/grandma

Am I doing this right?

Ever ridden to work before? If not, you got it nailed.

I was referring to the date, since it fits the "today and never done before" part of the question.

I ride to work almost every day that not below 40 degrees when I wake up.
