Try the Mountain at Cadwell park, the brave can even get both wheels off the ground, riding just about anything.

My favourite trick is lifting my sidecar to do a Chaimans Wheelie, I use it to wave to oncoming riders sometimes, it normally frightens the crap out f them. Good for making tailgaiters back off, or impatient drivers at side roads think twice as you hover the third wheel over their bonnet. Many years ago I had a CZ350 with a chair that could lift the fron too, just about, that was fun.

Mark,
I agree about the mountain at Cadwell, haven't done it on a bike, but have had the wheels of the Jag lift almost off the ground, vicious wheel spin, hence the 'incident' below!

Steve,
Do I sense some sarcasm from one of the unfortunate 'wage slaves'?  ;)
Yours, retired and happy,
Jim.

Probably just your athritis, old timer! I'm a "wage slave" too, but I'm happy, at 45 I reckon I'll still be riding when all  you "retirees" are looking down from heaven and admiring my beautiful F2, ha ha! Cheers "Whippersnapper" Terry. ;D

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Well, I hope it's from there. I don't like heat, so the alternative isn't very attractive.  ;D

Mark,
I was hoping that no one would spot that! What happened was, that I was showing off for the crowd (both of them) at the right hander and overcooked it and couldn't get it back! It's a big bloody car you know!  :-[

Don't worry about that Bob, I think you did a tour in that hot place back in the 60's? This time around you'll be looking down from a nice fluffy cloud with a cool glass of JD, while being entertained by Beelzebub shoving pineapples up 'Hanoi Jane's ass, rough end first! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Yeah, you're right mate, sometimes I feeel a lot older than that! But most of my aches and pains can be attributed to falling off bikes and jumping out of perfectly good aeroplanes, ha ha! Cheers, Terry.  ;D

Now Terry, as any good skydiver knows, there's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane (or aeroplane either). :P

I guess that's right Gordy, but I was never a "Skydiver", I was a "Paratrooper". What's the difference, I hear you ask? A Skydiver is a nut-job poser in a brightly colored jumpsuit who actually enjoys (or at least pretends to enjoy) jumping out of 'planes from thousands of feet, with the best free-fall rig money can buy, to gently land back at the parachute club, to ponce around with the rest of his (openly-homosexual) pals, sipping chardonnay and discussing the property market.

A Paratrooper, on the other hand, is the poor bastard dressed in cams (fatigues?) carrying his body weight again in his pack with weapon, water, ammo and rations, being booted out of a C130 at 1000 feet to hang off a non-steerable T10D-B only to land in trees, or on buildings or hard DZ's utilizing the classic "heels-ass-head" or "toes-knees-nose" landing options, then to pick himself up, shake out into patrol order and start tabbing, while his Platoon Sergeant says terrible things about his Momma. Geez, I miss it, ha ha! Cheers, Terry. ;D

That's what I love about this forum, you can get from a post on doing a wheely on a cb 750, to gay parachuting paratroopers and property developers(sorry Terry) in the space of a couple of posts! Ageism, sexism what next? Keep it up chaps it's very entertaining.  ;D
