First gear wheelies

Video of first gear wheelie, 1050 S3 with TORS


Video containg a few more first gear wheelies (and repeats the above one), gotta warn you though...A graphic designer/bike riding mate of mine overwrote the TORS sound with some music and added some non-wheelie footage.


Will be getting some second gear footage soon!

LOL If you look carefully, you`ll see that the MPH is actually written on a piece of parcel tape, which was stuck over the top of KPH! The 250 kph I posted further on was genuine though.

If you wanted speedy to reach 209mph you`d have to drop it out of a plane!

250kph feels like someone if pulling your head off, no matter how low you are... and front wheel feels *very* even slight bumps... Not fun anymore

1050 2nd Gear Wheelie

Got some footage of 2nd gear wheelies. 3rd gear ones were shot today also so I'll have one up soon.

Clutched it up around 4k with standard gearing and TORS.

3rd gear wheelies

A bike riding/artist friend of mine made this movie which shows me doing some 3rd gear wheelies. The only way I can get them up at this stage in 3rd is to slip the clutch while cresting a rise in the road. The ones that show the bike coming towards the camera from far away are the 3rd gear ones. You'll notice in some of them the bike seems to drift to the side with the camber (and bumps) of the road. The hardest thing I find with longer 3rd gear wheelies is steering them. Easier to balance...harder to steer! More practice needed I guess.
This video is almost 3 minutes long. Just wanted to warn those on dial up!
