I've popped the wheelie cherry today on me supermotard! Thing just wheelies off power. Don't even need to clutch it. Quite surprised really. Been riding for a few hours. Think i best calm da fûck down now.
Yeah. Twenty. Been riding motorbikes. On road for 4 years every day. And before was riding mx bikes 1-2 a month prior my 16th birthday for 6 years. Since i had my little qr50 lmao at 10. Moved onto a little honda cr 85 small wheel. Then a yamaha yz85 big wheel.
Then got my rs50 and sold the small mxers. Just bought that yz125. So know my way around the old smoker lmao
But despite all those riding years i am still absolutely kack on a bike. I very very rarely push my limits. And its only there where you can improve.
I beg to differ. Pushing it to your limits is where / when you come off. If you know your limits, that's a very good thing to know. Most riders don't know their limits and bin it.
Bang on Cal, only way to improve is pushing your limits, most of riding is in your mind if you say you're going to take a corner at 80 instead of 60 then you have to do it in your mind obviously there is limits to what a bike can do aswell but its 75% in the mind
most people have so much money in there bikes there scard to drop em or scard to hurt themselfs.
your liveing scard.
buy a bike that your not scard to drop i bet i could take half the kiddies rideing r6's and gixers on my 650 because i know if i drop it i dont give a **** i know if i crash i break bones but i will heal. i ride hard evryday allday
thats another reason why sm's are so good cornering, im sure a sporty could take the corner quicker but they will always have it in there mind "what if i drop it" where as sm's are just like, "should i wheelie out dis bitch"
Totally agree. I was about to disagree to be honest. Like usual and be wrong. I remembered just now about my rs. Yes it was a 50cc and what. The principle is the same. I did not want to ruin the fairing. At all scared to hell to drop it. Totally agree.
the only bike that was mint and i still went balls out was my gixxer 4, but that was from me coming straight off the drz, SM's definitely boost your confidence whether or not it was a placebo effect i dont know, but i was taking corners at stupid speeds on that thing and throwing it around like a rag doll! different story on my gixxer 600 tho, but that bike was showroom condition haha and 16 years old so i had my reasons!
Same with my old zx6r, always scared to get a mark on it lol. Already dropped my ktm, fell off the stand on the driveway lol, cheap and easy to fix, wasn't any damage anyway

It was "cheap and easy to fix" yet there "wasn't any damage anyway?"
Firstly i was joking. Secondly; TECHNICALLY he didn't actually say that. He said it fell off the stand. And that it was cheap and easy to fix. Then said there was no damage. So to fix it falling from the stand you could use the stand. Therefore cheap and easy.
