OMG.... 140? stick figure is right... when i was a senior in high school i was 6'1" 180lbs....

 

Yup....I've been the same since my freshman year. I never loose or gain more than a few pounds.

 

Hey Ginsu, I think I saw the picture that you modeled for!

 

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! [sm=funnypostabove.gif]

 

That would be me.............should I use that as my avatar.

 

Sure, its a free world ... be my guest!

Unless this is more approriate:

 

I can get it to wheelie a little bit in first with some throwing around of my little weight. If I can preload the suspension on any kind of terrain it wheelies really nice.

Think the slip on will give me some rip on the high end to complete the wheelie? Im hoping for a throttle on wheelie....

 

That's what I'm going for, but I'm beginning to think its just a little out of reach ... at least at the lower RPMs. Brian's "Big Bore Trilogy" is the route to getting more bottom end grunt that will power the front wheel into the air.

More low end torque will get the front end up, but good technique will also make up for lack power. It's a question of getting to the balance point quickly and then using the available power to maintain the balance. I guess it's like learning to play a musical instrument: Practice! Practice! Practice! (Except nobody ever busted their *** playing the violin!)

 

I took my bike out to my trail this morning...


I discovered the clutch in wheelie. With no body movement, I can clutch a wheelie in from a stop/slow roll. Definatly needs more low end from a 300 kit to pick the tire up sooner than 7 grand.
