HELP! Ever since my serious crash in September last year I seem to be riding like a tart ! No wheelies and not as quick as I used to be u just dunno what to do I just can't wheelie it's like a mental block any ideas on how to shake this off ?????
how much riding have you done since the crash, it could just be a case of getting comfortable with the bike again. either that or wheelie school
track days are great for building confidence after a while off the bike. i know its not the same as having crashed but,i like to do a track day right at the beginning of the year after the winter lay off, to remember how hard you can brake and how far you can lean a bike even in wet weather.
Looks like a track is the way forward might have to hire a bike don't want to be rapping her up again ! Lol
Wheelies are for the track Tucks. Being de-programmed from them on the road is not necessarily a bad thing mate.
Very true kpone I just don't feel the same mate it's weird ! Summers here and it's like I'm all stiff and nervous I've been riding sine I was 16 on the road I'm 37 now and it feels all new again lol
I've not been able to wheelie since a bad spill doing just that on my moto-x bike. Caught my ass between the chain and sprocket as I landed on the bike... That was 12 years ago! But tbd I couldn't care less now I can get my knee down and go really fast. As said book a trackday and concentrate on the important bits and that will give you the confidence to do the rest.
I'm not really that fussed about wheelies tbh but getting my knee down again would be good I feel like a knee down virgin again lol
just my thoughts, I have had 2 offs (not big ones) and found that gettinng back on the bike and taking your time to get the confidence is the best thing Much like my almost High side last weekend. came in changed undies then got back on for the last session and took my time
Cheers, Ken. You can create your own here. Keep Calm and Carry On Creator They try to make you purchase it once you've created it (ie disable the "Save As" thing on the image) but if you're sneaky like me you'll realise that you can just take a screen shot and crop it in MS Paint
You can just right click and "save image as" Rich and it saves as a png file. I've already sent half a dozen disgusting ones to clients. Top find, thank you sir.
