Like I said earlier, I'm not trying to find the b/p in third. I've been practising in 2nd. I'm starting to clutch 2nd now also, I like it because I don't have to go quite as fast. I feel more comfortable with my left foot on the back peg and my right over the brake. I've been toying with first but my throttle control still needs work, first is a little touchy. lol

Re: 3rd gear bounce.
High speed and inexperience = trouble... Don't let 3rd gear be the death of you, dude... man up and put that ***** in 1st before you get hurt. I looped a powerwheelie in 2001 strung out at 70ish... not a good deal, totaled a sweet 929 and sent me to the ER

Not many stunters around my area. I know there are a lot in Orlando, but thats about an hour and a half away. There are a couple guys around here that do nothing but power wheelies. I think thats why I learned them first.
Anyway......I've been practising with the clutch, so hopfully I'll have that damn balance point pretty soon. I still seem to be chasing my front tire a little bit but I know I'm close.
P.S. I know I need to slow down and I have, so please everyone, stop calling me an idiot. Believe it or not, I have been taking the advice that yall have been giving me.
