Sorry bout tha wait...pics

Sorry it took me 9 months to get my **** together and post pics.

1- The result of my first night's dedicated stunt practice. Trying to learn slow 1st gear wheelies. What's a rear brake anyways!!!

2- The result of the first trip out to get pics of my stoppies. I now know to make sure the person taking shots knows how to use the camera before i flip my ****!!!

3- This is why R6s aren't very good stunt bikes. After putting a couple of highway wheelies down the upper fairing mount snapped (this was my third one-the others snapped in drops). The duct tape held my upper on long enough to blast through Mt Glorious with Andrew A and his mates...but no more high way wheelies that day

4- 1st day ridin with the "STUNT WORLD SOLDIERS" at a secret stunt compound down the coast. Rolled out a few stoppies and had some fun before i started on the seat standers




More to come

More pics
This is tha new stunt piece!

I've been hangin out for about 4 months to get this beast running and registered and now it is ON!!!!

This thing is awesome, so stable on the back wheel, doesn't drift either way on the front wheel unless given shoulder input (unlike the R6 which just wanted to swing it's **** to tha right all the time ). Rolled out a few stoppies on the way through Brisbane city on the way hhome from Mt Glorious, spun some couriers, delivery drivers and passengers right out. I've been ridin this thing 2 days and already feel more comfortable stuntin it than i ever did on the R6 or work bikes (636 excepted, don't tell my old boss ).

Lata playaz,

Hendo

PS one of these days i'll get someone who can work a camera to get some shots of me ridin cause at the moment you guys probably think the only thing i stunt is tha keyboard (but i am pretty good on the old "QWERTY")

Re: Sorry bout tha wait...pics

mmmmmmm, that gixxer tho looks mighty sweet Hendo! Yes, you dont see many R6's being stunted on now days.

Sweet pics too man, keep 'em coming mate

PS: That foot pic of yours made me feel a whole lot better, but isnt funny how the type of acco doesnt reflect injury sometimes, like you can stack a small one and bust something, or do a Padros and stack a flying gixxer through the woods and only end up bruised?

Re: Sorry bout tha wait...pics

Thanks for the comments bout the gixxer, it does look good doesn't it!!!

It's no bender job, that paint cost me $15/can, duct tape $4.95. I used two cans of paint and it looks like ****, oh well, at least duct tape passes a roadworthy certificate!!! Who'd a thought???

Ya'll will see my bling on tha big trip!

Re: Sorry bout tha wait...pics

Nah Willis, not at Yamaha anymore.

Had a few run-ins with the bosses there, so i walked away after doing 7:30 till 6:30 for 13 days straight. I love bikes and workin in a bike shop but i don't love it enought to work that long with no time off and to only get 3 RDOs in 6 months. I bitch and complain too much to work that long

So i'm sponsored by Centrelink at the moment !!!

Hope it's all well up where you're at!!!

Re: Sorry bout tha wait...pics

Yeah, i rang my mate who was takin car of my car for me(i really shouldn't practice this shiiieet on my own but what ya gonna do???)

I told him to go rent a trailer and to get his *** down to the spot. He said "*** that, you gonna need to spend heaps on that bike, don't waste ya money on a trailer!!! It'll fit in the back of the XF!"

I doubted him at first, but it fitted into the back of the ole XF wagon.

That car ain't never smelt the same since!!!

Looking good hendo. Can't wait till my girls back up and set up. One week without and I'm already going nuts over here.
By the way Stooge....it's all luck with those accidents man. No skill...I was essentially a sack of potatoes flying and it just happened that the sack didn't hit anything too hard on the way down. HAha.
