Wheelie machine

[jimmydean]

Well, I did my first standing wheelie today. Went to a Buell demo with my friend today. I know it seems like blasphemy but Buell put on a great event compared to Triumph Demo. They have a stunt team that follows the demo truck. The stunt team does a show, and set up a closed tight track to race against their rider. Plus they brought this cool wheelie machine. The guys we’re really cool and they are going to have a “Stoppie Machine” soon.

Dude--That looks like so much fun!! Right on, and cool signature pic too. I guess when it comes to having fun you don't have to be biased to one source of amusement, even if it is with a Buell.

That looks like more fun than cedar point. I need one of those to practice on, I'm too scared to even really try a wheelie in real life.

What was everyone's reactiong to you showing up on a Triumph S3? I've only encountered one or two Buell fans and they didn't own motorcycles, so they don't really count. But, I've heard they can be kind of deffensive as a result of everyone laughing at them.

I'm surprised that air cooled piece of junk didn't through a rod right the seat into your wang. :hammer:

Looks like you would have flipped it in the beginning, had not that strap been there.

[jimmydean]

Definately would have looped out if not for the strap. I can tell you that it is much different on that machine though.
Quite alot of people flocked around my bike. Even the stunt guys were loving it. The real eye catcher to most were the Chain Reaction pipes. I got looks before but with the new pipes it seems they come out of every direction :-D
