Friday night raced from work to home to get the R1 out, got leathered up and off I went. Decided to stick to the speed limit -just as I started off, but after approximately 3 minutes I was bored. So I decided to keep all those car drivers amused by pulling up behind them at about 50mph and then pulling up the front end (Free entertainment) on a Friday night. This went on for about 20 minutes-I thought best to head off home as I had just terrorised this stretch of Rd. 1 mile from home just 1 last wheelie/no one around 36mph up she went just a bit to vertical for me eased off the throttle and it dropped like a stone/ wack'en me B*LL***S on the tank and nearly brakein me back...Thank God no one was around.......any one get any better stories.RudeKid

I'll add to the list.

Got my KLR250 out one afternoon after not have a blast for awhile I was very giddy. So had a nice little tootle around town giving it some for the ladies. So at the light this chav thought "hmmmm I could have him" whilst I was thinking "You wish" So there we were revving away light go orange booooommm 2nd, 3rd 4th dep givin it some lovely deep sounds and I was gone. So further up the road this little boy caught up and here we were again red light revving the tits out of our vehicles. Orange green booooomm clatter clater fart. I ran out of petrol.

The end

didn't do a wheelie, didn't run out of petrol, but did 130 leptons past a car doing about 50.... which I think was the "optional" limit at the time. Ho hum. I'm a bad man. Thanks for making me chuckle lads!

I must admit it was rather fun passing a Golf VR6 that was well into 3 digits as overtook a punto.

A while back, I joined a dual carriageway at a roundabout and decided to hoike one up...after a while it began to go to the left and my skill at that point wasn't good enough to steer it back. Thus, I put the front wheel down slightly crossed up which sends an aggressive wiggle through the bike straight through the tank to my kners. I was thinking for the next 10 minutes. Wheelies aren't big and they aren't clever.

Strange really back wheel naughties get me in all sorts of trouble, banned from Le Shuttle (length of the train), bollocked on P&O (inside the ferry), numerous stop/go penalties when racing, summonsed by clerk of the course at Cadwell, thrown off a trackday. Plus flipped it outside work, on a A road, and dozens of times off road. The only one I've seen that betters it was being behind a mate on the M20/M25 intersection fourth gear crossing all three lanes when he flipped it at "over the national speed limit" bike destroyed itself but he walked away. Your right its not big and clever but done well it does look cool
