    Easy done, especially on older bikes.

    On my first Blade I came over a hump backed bridge with the full intention of popping a looooooooooooooonnng wheelie down the other side.
    Gave it too much throttle and unintentionaly did a 12'O'clocker!
    Shat me sen and stamped on the rear brake, smashed the front end down and popped both fork seals!


    Looked well cool.....................................not! :mad:
