ok i just nailed my first 12 the other day, and boy do i feel like a million bucks. didnt crash either, but almost stalled. i was going about 5 mph and i've only got 2 down 3 up. i've always been able to mob down the freeway for however long i want or till my forearm gets tired,
but now i feel like i've finally successfully devirginized my bike.

so lets all gather around the fire and share our first 12oclock experiences........

 

Awesome , I wish I could say I can do them!!!! I will get there sometime !!!peace

 

..?

 

first time i touched 12 was late july 2002 on my 97 gsxr 750 srad (yellow) 1 down 2up no bar no cage....

nailed the brake so hard i slammed down awesome blossomed up and over the front of the bike.. haha.. :P

felt great though!

First 12 was a few weeks ago, tapped the exhaust and braked it back to bp.

I still need to cut my exhaust so I can hit the 12 bar.

 

bro scraping exhaust used to be the hot hot **** not even 3 years ago! haha

I'm not doing it by choice, I can't afford to get my pipe welded.

 

cut it with a hacksaw and rivet it back together.

 

sheetmetal screws and JB weld on the endcap work too

 

mi first one with a friend's bike im not into stunt game but after some tryouts **** just get out!

 

take it off... when I was in a state of poorness that what I did! FTP!

 

****** tree hugger die! :D sup pierce

 

my first 12, haha lets see first sucessful 12 was me clutchin the bike so hard in first gear hittin the bar bouncin the bike back down. i got 12 up in the rear. Ive gotten the whole bike in the air (the rear tire off the ground) with me using that clutch and that sprocket. Ive crashed alot tho tryin 2 hit 12s

 

same here.

 

congrats! but i havent seen you do much else lately

can you still scrape them 12's for 2-300 feet?

 

My first 12's weren't really that exciting.. probably because they involved no skill and I kept stalling them out.

Coastering into subframe scrapes/drags was far more rewarding.. I love the feeling and will likely never run a full tail again.

 

you old thread resurrector!
ahh the good old days. i dont think i've ever gorilla scraped that far tho.
maybe like a hundred feet. yeah havent done em in awhile. i've been too busy trying to make myself dizzy. i got 3 sitdowns last nite

 

F the end cap I just hacked the end off and ran a long screw through the side so the packing doesnt come out and rock on:YEAH

 

Well now actually go out and scrape 12 instead of having your friends help you put it on 12 and take a picture of it.

 

drove it there...but thanks....
