A line from the Rocky Horror Picture Show come to mind "Time is fleeting and madness takes it's toll". Maybe a wheelie but a stoppie NFW.

a youtubevideo told me to drive in first gear, push down the rear brake and then floor it till i find the balance point.
found a youtube cb900-wheelie. looks and sounds original.

Whenever stoppies come up I am reminded of these pics.
One can sometimes benefit from the experiences of others.

That bike was going to fail anyway. He's lucky it happened at that low speed. Granted, it is fitted with a stunt cage.

It was probably the added weight of all that safety gear, those bandanas can get heavy when soaked with sweat.
I just don't get the majority of stunters. Don't get me wrong I love to go and try stupid stuff, but I put on every piece of leather I own. I know I going out to learn new and I also know I am not going to get itright on the first try.

watching some guy named jury something-something i was very impressed and thought perhaps i could try the same thing on my cb900f beeing the newbie that i am. then i noticed the large whatchamacallit(sprocket) attached to the chain/wheel - or other way around.
