Learning to wheelie my ZXR

[Ghost]

Went out for a ride this afternoon with Leigh and Rob (KLR600) and on the way back decided to stop off at a deserted industrial estate and have a bit of a play around on the bikes. My wheelies are getting a little better, I still need lots of practice but it's getting there.

Me on my ZXR





Leigh doing his thing on his ZX9R







Had a good ride and it was a laugh but I've still got plenty to learn, really need to repair the bike back up to scratch first but one step at a time.

Your a brave man...................wheelies with a bent? cracked? frame

[RedexRobB]

Not bad, never been able to get the ZXR to wheelie properly myself.

But yes, is this why the frame got bent in the first place?

[masterofinsanity]

you wheelied a zxr400 ???

[Ghost]

Hey, at least if I crash it I can't do any more damage! Just makes me wince a little every time I get a bit of a heavy landing. Frame seems to be holding up so far so I haven't killed it yet. Gonna start practicing stand ups and smoother gear changes next I think, taking it easy though cos I've only been riding for a month

you wheelied a zxr400 ???

[masterofinsanity]

Have you got any pictures or videos of you wheelying your zxr zimm? looked on google and youtube etc but there doesnt seem to be a lot of people wheelying the little 400s.

Mine wheelies jolly well over the jump at Crosby pub on the IOM................. flat out top gear chin on tank

But ask me to do a wheelie and I've not got the first clue

no pics of me wheelying, just like there arent many of me snowboarding or programming or powersliding zzr1100's or going for a toad .. doesnt mean i dont do it

there arent many people stunting on 400's because they are crap at it, try a supermoto, or a big torquey superbike and you'll see what i mean.

anyway, i wasnt dissing you, was more taking the piss outta Baz .. lol

[masterofinsanity]

That's cool I wasn't suggesting you can't wheelie I'd just like to see some pictures of other zxr 400s on their back wheel that's all. If anyone has feel free to post them up, don't think your ing my thread it's a wheelie for all

[Scott221]

i can wheely my gixer ask scott

Yeah, i can account for that alrite!

[sheehan]

Looks good! But a bent frame? how does that work lol! surely it should be a cat B?

[Ghost]

Er, no because I bent it myself. Still bent, still wheelying and the bike's still in one piece.
