This was a picture from a week ago or so.

Seat height is 35", but when you sit on it the suspension compresses a fairly decent amount. I am 5'10 with a 31 or 32" inseam and can flat foot it with both feet.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda...you were having fun. 

(It's not like I don't test ride "customer's" bikes without a helmet...)

[spc]

When I'm takin her out after doing maintenance or a mod I just go......no helmet no jacket, just sunglasses..........But I keep it in the Cul-de-Sac

[Alphamazing]

I'll admit, it was fun doin' this in a parking lot, but next time I do I want to use my track plastics instead, and wear some better gear. I'll try and get better pictures next time I do.

I did a wheelie today on the GS.. huge bump in the parking lot.. hit it and whacked it open.. got about 6 inches.. that's enough for me.

I did one that scared the hell out of me the other night leaving Wal-Mart.

I was turning and shifted into 2nd to early and over-revved   I thought for sure I was gonna hit the ground.

For all of you Haters it was like 2AM so there was no-one around

VTNewb approves of these hijinks.

I tried doing a couple wheelies on the Super Hawk this weekend.   I guess I need new tires because when I'd whack it, the rear tire would just spin up on me.   Either that or the road was really dusty. 

[Mk1inCali]

I light up the rear tire on the Ducati more than I pull the front end up.  I need something stickier than my BT-020s...


Damn torquey V-twins.

[spc]

I slammed my throttle leaving Wal-hell tonight and fishtailed everywhere   i guess it's time for a new rear tire   Mine could pass for a racing slick right now ( It's a BT45 )

[SmartDrug]

I'm running a new set of Roadtec Z6, they're a sport tour tire and I spend 30% of my saddle time with the front end in the air, so I don't think it's the tire's fault.  Are you two power wheelieing (spelling?) or clutching it up?  Have you checked your body position?  Are you tugging on the bars?  Too much chain slack?  I've never had a tire spin when attempting to pick up the front end, even in 50 degree weather.

power wheelieing with a brand new chain  

[SmartDrug]

And you're down in Georgia which means it's probably 20 degrees warmer than Chicago, I'd be willing to bet that your skills have surpassed the BT45's man.  I ran some Sportec M3s on my GS when I had her, NEVER had an issue with handling or breaking lose after the first 150 miles of breaking in.  Check em out before you dump that bike while dicking around.   To anyone out there who is going to respond with "well just don't do wheelies/don't slam on the gas", Wheelies are why God invented motorcycles.

Yes, God invented motorcycles.

Nothing like the look on a 70+ year olds face as you scream by on one wheel    Hmmmm sportec M3......I'll check it out   I rode a friends ZX6R the other day and I swear the front wheel was only on the ground when I was at a dead stop I had way too much fun on that...............Course i also failed to pay attention and caught myself at 145 on the interstate

I'm Gonna fit some frame sliders on this little shaZam! soon   I think Case Guards look ghey
