wheelies

[hertsbiker]

Ok, 60,000 mile older, but the 636 is a wheelie monster. And I'm not a wheelie god. How do I;-

a) keep the front wheel down on a GP start
b) control the front for a constant height wheelie

I did a monster hoist accidentally outside a pub. About 50 people saw it, but it nearly flipped. The XJR didn't do this !!!

rgds.

this flip-prevention device... wonder how effective it is, and how much? what you reckon my insurance company (or old Bill!) would reckon if they saw it fitted?

If you have a failsafe device to stop flips, then it really takes the risk out of it.. mmmmmm. Interesting.

cheers for the advice lads.

Cazzo, people were looking round to see why I was laughing just now.

Seems like such a common sense device - you could have it so a wheelie never went past 30 degrees, or whatever angle you felt safe at. The boring ones out there could even set it for zero degrees...

I assume that a swing arm attachment would be ok for this. Sounds just too good to be true? - would this allow the 'perfect' wheelie? the misfire would stop as soon as the elevation becomes safe, so would the bike then 'float' at the preset level?

I could see this becoming the next big "must have" accessory.
