Title: Dumb bike tricks
Post by: ajgs500 on July 16, 2005, 08:23:07 PM
So I go out to have my 10 o'clock smoke and the area in which I am required to do so is a place that a lot of people on the street drag race.  I've seen my share of wheelies and such but this time the dude on his Yam. R6 takes off from the stoplight, gets up to speed, and then jumps up and sits on his gas tank?? WTF??

No wheelie just sitting there on his gas tank driving down the road.  Oh and no gear what so ever.  Plus it has been raining here consistantly for a week.

hahaha, i do that all the time. To scared to try it while wheeling tho for the time being. What about standing up right and steering by shifting weight or knees on seat but keep hands on handlebar or no hands steering.

Fun stuff...cannot wait to get my bike fixed that a benz helped 'ruin'.

I was hanging out at the playground at SV and one of the locals was doing some stunts on his gix1k. Highchair wheelies and stoppies. Yep sitting on the gas tank with legs over the handlebars doing both in the same run. A little of a poser but still a damn good rider. He took us out to show us some of the other roads.

A couple of pics of him from that day:
