WE WANT PICTURES.....

Especially of the 'Wing on 1 wheel.

Cagers never expect to see a BMW on 1 wheel. They expect it from the squids on the rice bikes.
Be good,
Phil

No proof=no wheelie. Especially 2 up.

HOLE EE krap.

If I do a double downshift and hard on the throttle to pass a creepin' cager on a 2 lane and don't announce it, I get a load of grief over the intercom.

Having raced a mountain bike tandem for the last 8 years, I have learned one rule- DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT P*SS off the back seat. You may be have the controls now, but think about your (questionable) future.

The whack you will get on the back on the head isn't for what you did, it's so you wont do it again.... Boy, I've heard that one several times, all for different things... Smile

We get spoiled with Miki's photos....

I believe you. But two feet isn't a wheelie. That's called "lifting up the front." Smile

Here's a wheelie - on a K1100LT:

What was it? An Exxon? Laughing
