Stock PCX won't do that will it?

Re: Just when you thought you'd seen it all
There was a time when I'd be foolish enough to try and find out. But old age and the fear of creating a preexisting condition scares the hell out of me.
I'm going to make an educated guess that the Variator is modified with lighter weight rollers or sliders. . .more down low and less top end. Not sure about the exhaust. The used one they started up today at the dealership sounded really quiet in comparison.

Re: Just when you thought you'd seen it all
I must be getting old too because I never even tried to lift the front once in 5500 miles on the scooter. I was shocked when I saw the video I've done it accidentally several times on the Buell but always about piss myself. You know you can get a 100.00 ticket for riding with no hands so imagine wheelie fine around this town.PCX150Rider wrote:There was a time when I'd be foolish enough to try and find out.

This could make you dizzy. . .give it a few seconds. . .it's worth the wait. . .reminds me of a hound chasing down a rabbit.

Not sure, it's hard to read the flags in the distance. But it looked like the Kentucky Fried Chicken Colonel was popping his head up over the fence.
If I stayed in school longer and learned how to speak Taiwanese I'd know.
It looked to me like the center stand was removed but I could be wrong. Didn't hear that familiar metal on pavement sound.

Re: Just when you thought you'd seen it all
I was thinking the same thing about ground clearance. Has to be a stock header because too many of the after market ones would be dragging the asphalt.

Re: Just when you thought you'd seen it all
I used to own a Honda ST70 and my mate could pop a wheelie and hold it for any distance he wanted.
Fortunately, I was born with a slightly larger brain, but smaller cojones

It looked and sounded like a stock exhaust to me. But he kept putting his feet down during the turns.homie wrote:I was thinking the same thing about ground clearance. Has to be a stock header because too many of the after market ones would be dragging the asphalt.
Was he using his feet to feel the clearance, hold the bike up motocross style, insecure?

Automatic reflex. My wife kept doing that during her motorcycle test. She knew better but her foot would just go down in a turn. It took a lot of practice before she felt comfortable enough not to put her foot down when doing a slow tight turn.

Re: Just when you thought you'd seen it all
Trials riders can go straight up a wall or even backward without putting a foot down. On the other hand, Valentino Rossi puts a foot out at 200 mph entering a turn "because it feels good". Marc Marquez began the technique of putting his knee down in the turns. Everyone thought he was crazy until he won the MotoGP championship in his rookie year! Best to have all the tools and use the right one for the situation.

I think you meant elbow for Marquez not knee.

You can start by "pinging" the Buell up until you get used to it. It's ptretty safe.
