Re: alomost
trade off that 2 stroke, no controllable power out of the band, and if you get better and ever need to slip the clutch to keep it up and get on the pipe..... well, nevermind

A highchair scrape is a highchair scrape. If you said you were riding highchair 12's, I wouldn't interpret your bike to be on the bar, scraping across the parking lot for a quarter mile. Before most of you knew what a handbrake was, a gentleman named Wink 1100 broke it down classroom style. Ask an elder to borrow the video and dust off your VCR. I recommend a lesson in history for everyone who hasn't seen it. It will shed light on why and how you're doing what you're doing today.
The 12 was named years ago when it was compared to your basic power wheelie because brakes were only used for endo's. This was long before scrape bars existed and sawing 6 inches off tailsections. It was named a 12 because compared to everything else, it was vertical..... and not to mention only the best of the best could do it.

Re: alomost
so is the bike flat on the ground at 9 or 6 ? I would think 9 ? 6 would be on the nose?
