He should have put the bike back down a long time ago! You could see him start to lose control with the front end starting to wobble.

Would a steering damper have helped this bloke? (asides from the obvious solution of not doing it in the first place)

Next lesson, delete the tape if you wreck it. I think he may be getting the insurers knocking soon looking for their money back if the vid is on open release.

Now let me check my body...

Penis? ...check
Arms....check
Legs.....check

Brain...Doh!

I don't think the bike is an 848 - It sounds like a four and on the visuals: the 848 has a black belly pan and black front mudguard?

Shook me-up just watching it and hope he's OK.

Yikes!! I've landed dozens of wheelies a bit crossed up, must be the steering damper that's saving me?!?! All mine does it pull straight and carry on... thankfully!

Saying that I'm strictly a sit-down wheelie kind'a guy, therefore I'm not hanging on for grim death with my arms, which is always gonna amplify a tank slapper

Dunno about him or the bike, but the camera did well to survive!

Wonder what type it was?

Posted: 03/03/2009 at 18:20

I reckon It was made of the same stuff they use to build the black boxes on airliners...

Posted: 03/03/2009 at 19:39

good job he didn't hit any of the other bikers and that sombody was there to check for broken limbs. Pity they didn't check his brain before he started  though.

Posted: 03/03/2009 at 22:16

No offence Big Ears...I suspect the other bikers were at that long, straight, desolate road for the same reason...

What should they have checked his brain for exactly ?

Why is it the W word is so emotive......those that love to...and those that despise those that love to ??

No argument/slagging please...just discussion if anything

I am not surprised the W word is so emotive...

In my time I have done them and watched (and enjoyed) many good ones.

The flip side? I have personally seen two people killed doing them (separate incidents)
several where the rider has piled into parked cars or into a row of bikes.

They are a red rag to the anti-biking lobby...

They are both fun to do and more so (IMO) to watch!

Not so enjoyable when it's our bike or car that is taken-out by a duff one!

I think that's emotive enough by my standards.....

 What i'm trying to day is that the should have pulled out sooner and gone slower, how would he have felt if the bike had taken a diferant course and klilled on of the on lookers.

The road was long and straight as you say but there was a cross wind that pushed him to the left.

As for4 slagging off if you pull stunts like this people will coment as has been said above usauly the anti bike brigade so dont give them the fuel.

If people want to do this as , i feel that they do so at there own risk.
