There's a hill near me that anyone could wheelie over, it's been in Practical Sportsbikes Magazine a couple of times because you can get an easy wheelie shot over it, it's easier to wheelie over than Cadwell Mountain, for anyone interested it's on the small road from the A12 that goes to Waldringfield.

There's a stretch of road near me named The Seven Sisters,it's been a testing road for generations of local riders.

Re: Wheelie courses
I have never deliberately wheelied, but have done so inadvertantly several times on the VFR. Big topbox full of crap, sit well back, give it beans and be a bit hamfisted with the clutch. Worked for me.

Re: Wheelie courses
That's just reminded me I put a junior British trials champion through his CBT. He hadn't a clue how to ride a roundabout or that you were only supposed to go one way down a one way street and not do a U turn to ask me a question, but he could do things with a CG125 I wouldn't have believed possible including grinding the rear light on the ground.
We had a slow riding race - last one across the car park wins. He was still sat feet up on the start line when the last of us instructors crossed the line.

Do you mean it depends whether he was going two ways sequentially or concurrently?Taipan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 11:56 amSurely you can only go one way down a one way street?The Spin Doctor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 10:05 pmyou were only supposed to go one way down a one way street
Or do you mean 'down' Vs 'up'?

You can go the right way do it... or you can go the wrong way down it... just not at the same time
