Dropped the CG125..

whilst pulling my fourth great big **** off wheelie. [1] Now I need
to sort the brakes so I can do stoppies as well.

<manic cackle>

[1] Tail end a bit scratched, foot peg bent, mirror mounting bent.

 

You are such a hooligan.

This is because I called you Shrek isn't it?

Choice of two answers - oh do **** off you just have a problem with
women riding bikes.

OR

I set out with the intention of seeing what a difference the ZXR
riding had made to my handling of the CG125. Lots is the short answer.

So I took it down to the car park that my instructor used for ever
decreasing circle practise and that gets used for mini moto/go kart
messing about.

I knew from here (hence the I blame UKRM in the sig) that the basic
principle of wheelies is pull clutch in, pull throttle back, dump
clutch.

So I did, with increasing amounts of confidence. They started off
small (first time, forks extended, tyre just left the ground) then
they got bigger over half an hour and length of time they were held
for got longer.

Did 3 at around 45 degress held for few seconds - then on next it went
right up and I went off the back. There was a witness but as he wasn't
independent I doubt you'd take his word. The lads who'd turned up to
play on the baby bikes were impressed that this was my first time and
didn't rib me about the bin at all.

Shall I get photos taken next time I do it?

Tell you what Alex, you come and give me lessons in how to do it.

 

Alex Ferrier says...

One person's great big **** off wheelie is another persons little bunny-
hop. So cut some slack here. ISTR that someone else from ukrm witnessed
today's events, someone who is quite trustworthy, so I don't doubt that
LN was indeed having her first go at stunting.

 

Thanks for the support but can I just say, in the nicest possible
fashion...

Sod off the 3 prior to the bin were not bunny hops. The umpteen ones
before those - yes.

And I have the stunting bug quite badly now. I didn't mention the
kneeling on the seat or the GKD attempt (which I bottled) in the
original post did I?

I need to go and see Veggie Dave for lessons.

 

<shakes fist> I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too....

 

Lady Nina says...

Champ, you watching this? How many points do I score today?

 

You'll never stoppie a CG125.

They don't stop, they just lose speed a little faster than you would if
you just shut the throttle.

 

SteveH says...

I think we may just have had a challenge laid down.

How much are you willing to bet then, young Steve?

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Lozzo

I *think* EOSM just got slightly more interesting...

 

A stick through the spokes of the front wheel doesn't count.

 

You're not planning on releasing the equity in the CG125 then?

 

Lady Nina says...

Heh, Little bikes are top fun for dicking about on.

 

You're certainly winding up the gurlies today. Not sure quite why,
tho

 

They do if you ride them head-first into a brick wall.

 

Not as many as me. )

****.

I don't like being called a liar. My integrity is all I have left.
