Is the book older than you?

[KungFooBob]

Almost, I was given it as a joke by my mate Dale's mum when I first started learning to wheelie on my FZR400.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Wheelieing an FZR400 must have involved some serious clutch abuse.

[KungFooBob]

When I was 18 I watched a guy wheelie past the Milk Bar in Sherburn (back when it was in Sherburn) on an NC35 and thought, if he can do it, so can I on my 400.

I got pretty good at first gear clutch ups... I was fucked if I wanted to start a wheelie above 30mph. I traded it for an R6, which I could clutch up in second anywhere up to about 60mph and land in 3rd at 130mph.

That's Doug Domokos.

I have his book

Dammit, you're right. Difficult keeping up with old-school wheelie kings

Dave Taylor was the real Wheelie King

He cheated by having the front wheel spinning by a little motor.I mean anyone could wheelie round Brands with that set up!

He almost made it around the IoM TT circuit - I think he had to land it once.

I think that was the only time he really used the electric motor.

Hmmm. It's about 10 miles away.

It just looks wrong, the swing arm is too long and the forks are too short.

[weeksy]

what is it ? and what are the wrong bits from instead ?

[KungFooBob]

Looks like an Elsie made to look like a TZ.

[westers151]

The tank/frame combo looks more like a YPVS 350 than an LC.
