Re: my second day trying wheelies on a big bike
Looking good man.....
the 50 really helps.......I went to the lot for the first time ever Sunday after learning BP and brake control on the 50. I was all over the BP on the big bike. Still sloppy and working on throttle control but wasn't nervous at all to go behind the BP, just rode the brake.
Plus it hurt alot less those 10 or so times I wrecked the 50....
