12 OClock Wheelie Attempt FAIL!!!

empty road with no one in sight, just as good...at least he's got the right bike to practice on, and not in flip flops and wife beater...and at least it was done at a slow speed...i'd say he's doing pretty good...
 
Riding 3rd gear wheelies in parking lots comes to an end pretty ****in fast, there was NO ONE in view at ALL on the 1.5 KM stretch of country road, and I had the rear brake covered but I reacted too late waiting for the lisence plate to scrape the ground. :)
 
What are you running for gearing? I prefer stock gearing on the DRZSM in second.

Stocks what, 15/41???

My brother has an '05 DRZ. I find it really comfortable in second. call me paranoid, but I'll stick to my uncles farm (dirt hurts less...) or stay in a parking lot. Better safe than sorry.
 
I know what your saying, and appreciate the concern about the open street thing. Anyways, running stock gearing and that was popping it up in first. I find it hard to do wheelies in the dirt running street tyres they just spin out and nothing happens, if you are reffering to wheeling in the dirt at your farm.? lol
 
Yep, farm...
I find first much too short, and pretty uncontrollable on a drz. Clutch it in second from about 25kph.

The farm has a real long driveway, and grassy fields hurt less. Your right about the street tires on dirt, only dirtbikes in the fields.

After your first post I didn't realize it was you crashing the DRZ. Guess I wasn't paying much attention to that.
Ah well, **** happens.
I wasn't trying to be a smartass or belittle you or anything... Its prety easy to flip a bike, especially when you're learning.
 
Lol, man no offense taken, it is all in good fun. Tak'er easy XP
 
Sorry to see you had an owie (hope you got your bike working okay!) but I'm thinking this one's a bigger *ouch* :(

Too bad it wasn't the idiot with no shirt on that went over the bars, that would have been a lot better. Then the injured guy is laying there in obvious pain and probably with a broken arm, or maybe worse, and the shirtless moron decides he's a paramedic and starts moving him around and taking his jacket off.. then cracking jokes about at least the bike is ok.. wtf... The guy is a moron on every level.

So you wish that he crashed just cause he didn't have a shirt on? Did I miss part of the video...the guy with no shirt was telling him not to move and wouldn't take off his helmet. The guy on the ground started moving on his own and then asked for the shirtless guy to take off his glove and it went from there. I'm pretty sure he was cracking jokes to try and lighten the mood for the injured rider, not to be an ahole.
 
That's why I don't try wheelies or stoppies. =x
 
No way I am giving up on these things man. They are addicting fun fun fun!!! O.O!!
