Always up for learning something new but never found the roads or more importantly, the time to practice. I did the Andy Burnett and Jimmy Fireblade wheelie schools - at Andy's, I did the best wheelies but I thought it was a bit of a cheat to be honest. He offers a 'wheelie or your money back' guarantee which on a 1200 bandit would be pretty impossible not to do. I would have preferred to work on the technique on a smaller bike rather than relying on the power to get it up. Jimmy's school was great as it was him just working with two of us only - really nice guy and happy to teach any stunts you were interested in and gave us a 5 minute personal stunt show on my S4 at the end.  I'd happily do another day with Jimmy - DSC wheelie school anybody?A friend of mine passed his test and within 3 months he was doing 200m rolling burnouts, complete doughnuts, 2nd gear wheelies, and loads of other stuff. Just seemed to have the knack as well as no fear. He's (thankfully) sold his bike now as all he wanted to do on the road was to feck about on his bike and was getting really dangerous. He's the guy I gave my back protector to as was seriously worried he was going to flip it big time. Myself, I really don't think my balls will ever be big enough. More or less everytime I've tried to do them, it never feels in control and feels pretty scary. I guess old age and self preservation instincts kick in a little too early in my head. Laters simon  |
