Ace stuff!

I think the difference between me and him are the following;
1 He looks like he knows what he's doing :bow

2 There is a total lack of abject fear in his face
3 It doesn't look like it's going to go all horribly wrong
4 I bet it's not his bike
5 He might have done it before

Who is he anyway,any ideas :beerjug:

And as our firends in advrider agree...these pics have been photoshopped....everyone knows that you cant wheelie a bike with shaft drive....(walks away just as a beer bottle passes overhead)

Of course, we all know

Oh, they did it in the 80s too:

I also heard someone saying you can't do stoppie with telelever:

Hmm... Lemme guess... All pics photochopped?

Very impressive collection of shots - enjoyed them. :bow

When I try to do a wheely now I naturally throw my (considerable)weight forwrd and stop it rising. Doh!!!

Marvellous, a showcase of stunts

and jolly considerate of all those ramblers to stand well clear behind those barriers they bought with them

I think there are many who would and that was my point, you can do anything you like on same way, but also having benefits of shaft drive and non diving forks - vastly superior bikes, aren't they?
