well, that's how it is...

Anyways, nordt, you should start practicing wheelies in 1st gear and parrying with the break, it's quite fun too :)
Then you should start try turning while wheeling, that's what I'm trying to learn now, I can sometimes get a 90 degree turn
would be really nice to be able to wheelie in circles :)

DTR bradders, My front forks is leaking. Both of the shockers are. So im thinking that might be some of the reason, But most of the reason was proboably that i was on my way to turn back to the middle of the road so my front wheel wasnt straight forward when i landed.

And lol nath, sometimes if both of my balls lie on one side its hard to keep the bike straight so you might be right ;)

This is why i never want to wheelie. I also have extremely large nads and am quite partial to the correct quanties of oxygen entering my blood stream so will keep my front wheel firmly on the ground unless the back is following!

No not at all, I had alot more speed. And my bike started wobbling. If you search on youtube for motorcycle wobbling you will proboably find something. I tried to hold on to the bike and make it stop wobbling but it just got worse and worse and i fell off xD

the stupid thing is....when your in a tank slapper,you WANT to hold on and control it...... it only makes it worse confuse let go of the bars and press on the rear brake progressivley harder. sounds stupid but it works confuse had a KR1S back in the day,as well as an evil gsxr1100wp,both reknowned tank slappers,bastid things (both got written off by there next owners,i was proper lucky biggrin )

Hmm. I try to remember that next time, Thanks funkeymunkey ;)

And yeah its just a natural reaction to try to get it straight by steering. It was impossible. This has happened to me a coupple of times before in lower speeds, But it somehow always straightened itself out.

i learnt the hard way on a mk2 rd 125 (sixteen inch front wheel) by the time it slid down the road the 3rd time (just after the revs went mental normally) and it happened again i thought feck it. had nothing to lose biggrin you just have to force your arms to go loose and it'll become 2nd nature.... and your forks need fixing lol leaking seals = flexing = pain biggrin
