YES, one of the more exhilarating experiences I've had riding. Sure wish I had video. Might just go back and do it again for the record. I'm very familiar with this corner. Sometimes try to spin the wheel a little. Just popped Romans map in tonight and went for a test ride. I took the corner like normal, not really trying to spin but on the gas a little hard coming out. Yes, it's uphill a bit which encourages wheelies but I never had this happen before. I'm on the gas only about 25% and I feel the front go light. Then, "holy SHIT, I'm on one wheel and the bike is still leaned in!" I know it was up for a little while because I remember thinking pretty much those words and seeing cars in the opposite lane coming at me. LOL I DON'T CARE----I love that there were spectators, captive or not!!! Imagine what they were thinking?? LOL, "bikes coming out of that corner on one wheel!" tell you the truth, I am pretty sure I was not breaking the speed limit. I guess I rolled off a little because I don't recall there being hard decelertion. The landing was not silky smooth but at least I know the low torque spec on the Ohlins will hold up to a small power wheelie. The roughest sensation was the steering whipping back on track. No wobble. The steering damper is there for that. Might be a good time to have that puppy serviced.

Very impressive mate.
Maybe when I get another 10 years riding experience I might try that.
Till then, .

BUHAHAHHA!!! Na, mate, another ten years and maybe I will be able to do this:

4:01 downhill severe lean wheelie.

That's crazy. I'm fairly sure you're now qualified as a stunter! Damn hooligans!

Cool!

I have pretty ok qualifications as a hooligan.

Sorry... type...not not was supposed say now (fixed)

I'll just stick with hooligan for now.

Yeah, you have to go back and check your autocorrections now. Sucks. Now my cellphone wants to guess at what I am texting and I have a heck of a time convincing it otherwise. Useless.

Rook, that's why I have a phone that does NOT text; it can barely take pictures . . . . .

That's what I had but my provider quit supporting my old Motorola. Loved it. Don't want a smart phone, the flip phone easily fit in my pocket and never busted when i sat on it. damn drives me nuts all the crap us guys are expected to carry around in trousers and we can't use a fanny pack unless we are gay.
