i could do with lessons in how not to wheelie tbh! especially coming off roundabouts and slow corners.
sh1t meself a few times, and when it comes up it always goes to the left - might have something to do with the bent yokes and frame lol :lol:

FOOKING AWESOME DAY!!!

Still can't wheelie as well as I'd like but had a great day trying. Took me ages to get used to the 600 il4 bandit but it was soooooo much fun.

I also kept hitting the cut out thingy off the back. He raised it for me but wouldn't take it off for insurance purposes.

Full report to follow. Way too fooked to do anything. Been high all day on adrenaline.

agree!
i think the loop switch was limiting you a bit tho - looks like you had no trouble getting it up (fnaarr fnaar!)
thinking about it, i wouldn't mind fitting a tilt switch on mine... :think: might look into that :thumbup:

I definitely felt it was limiting me. The tilt switch was hooked into the side-stand switch. Let me know how you get on.

I took the BMW to school today. It was scary as previous visits to the school have been on a bandit with an anti-flip switch. No such device on the beemer. Anyhow, here are some pics :biggrin
