I have never stayed within the NSL whilst riding a bike, ever.

I have never got my knee down on the road either,apart from checking tyre pressures.

I never got my knee down on the roads back when I did ride them on my 400. Used to rip off toe sliders frequently though due to my interesting foot position.

Can't pull wheelies for st either, kind of mastered it in 1st gear on the 400 though.

I haven't been over 150mph either due to stting it on bumpy roads at the isle of man on a fireblade back in 1998.

biggrin This i believe!

Ive never managed to clutch up a wheelie more than about 6cm without screaming like a little girl.

Also controversial but im sure will happen at some point but ive never crashed a proper bike, I did crash a scooter when i was 17 which embarrasingly ripped one full leg of my trousers off so i had to ride home with one side of me boxers/arse out covered in blood which was amusing for everyone else.

I have never bothered with trying to wheelie, due to fear of doing an awesome back-flip and binning the bike.

I have never done triple figures on my current bike due to 90% of my riding been commuting miles.

There are many more but I won't bore anyone, mostly these are all due to been vastly new to post DAS motorcycling so only have limited mileage under the belt. So in short I'm still learning and still scensorede rolleyes

Ditto. I have 'tried' but I was so uncommitted you might as well say I was attempting to just do a more than casual start from the lights wink

Did this when I was 17 on a Yamaha DTR125, tried to give it a fist full off the line, the front lifted I panicked slammed on the rear brake and stalled the bike, what a winner I looked holding up traffic ha ha.

I have never got my knee down on the road and never felt the need to either.

I have not pulled an intentional wheelie for over 25 years.

I have never been conscious of counter steering [lol]

I have never done a track day....

Would like to - its more of a "finding the time" issue

Or knee down
or proper clutch-up for more than a few cms I should think.

The child in me wants to learn to wheelie proper.

Same as most...

I have never got the knee down, or scraped a footpeg and have no intention of doing either!
I have pulled a wheelie, but it was by accident and was no more than 2-3" above.

I have never ridden in earplugs and I really should!

I have never got my knee down on my current bike, although my peg looks like it's been propping the bike up.
I am too scared to go for a proper wheelie, as I get too scared with the front end coming up under power in the first three gears to try it properly.

I have never gone on a proper couple of days tour , been riding a couple of decades now . I only just realised this .
I haven ever done a wheely on the roads , done a couple of wheely days and am comfortably doing them up to a point but the thought of even attempting them on the road is very off putting . It's odd that .
