Re: Circle problems.
in order to execute a circle there are 3 things which are a giant math problem and need constant adjusting. if 1 decreases, the other increases, etc....
a) wheelie speed
b) wheelie height
c) lean angle
and then ofcourse all these things are accomplished with
a) idle adjustment
b) throttle blips
c) brake control
d) tire pressure
e) giant doobie

Re: Circle problems.
nope, but even so once you get circles down on a phifty the concept is the same....my friend kevin (white bandito) rode a phifty for maybe 3-4 months, hopped on his first ever big bike or street bile amd started turning circles on his f4i in two weeks..and now he's pretty
ya but you are on a "fifty"..he is on a "Phifty" i think they may be different

Re: Circle problems.
I started practicing my circles last week and so far i can do a 180, sometimes a 360 barely but im determined not to fail so im tryin to have this **** locked down before the cold weather gets here...

Re: Circle problems.
I think I am getting closer, my lean is getting better instead of just turning... I still can't get much more than a half a turn at a time, but I'm starting to understand the timing some too. I think if I keep at it I will have them before too much longer. on a side note I dumped the bike in a funny way today, got too far into the lean and ended up jumping off to the inside and walked the bike around in a cirlce on the back wheel before finally dumping it over onto the cage... fucked up my nice paint on the tail

Re: Circle problems.
Cool.Well now that im here id like to keep up with NC events and big rides.(we need to get the NC stuntlife section popping again so we can talk in there). My truck is legal now so if anybody see's a navy blue s10 with a stuntbike on the back driving through winston or wherever flag my *** down.I've got a couple spots by me I've found that im gonna ride at till I get kicked out. PM IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO RIDE.
