Was having a hard time slowing things down on the buell and bm so I bought a pitbike 4 weeks and did my first 4 complete circles this morning :YEAH now I want to transfere back to the big bikes has anyone experianced this and is it easy or am I going to have to start over
Have been standing stagered on the pit and it feels **** on the big ones.
Any advice please

 

Its gonna be hard... I find going from big bike to small bike it takes a few hours to get use to the smaller size again and same going to small to bike bike... I am sure if you go out this weekend you'll nail it with some practice. And doing circles for the first time I would try to find a really big spot... and try to wheelie a circle thats huge and start cutting the circle smaller and smaller... Just go Big and Wide at first.
Cheers.

 

Thanks man .I'LL try em wide at first, although I do better at tight circles with the pitbike standing on the axle pegs so I fitted axle pegs and a hand brake to the bm X challenge today and will try it out tomorro its a monster tall bike so dont know how it will go . Also I have a turf farm so I have been doing circles on the grass and it does screw around with the balance however it is soffter to crash so it helps with the *****.

 

Hang on, you've fitted BMX pegs to your Buell and going to try and wheely standing on those pegs??? Er.......... wouldn't really reccomend that

I play on pitbikes quite a bit, and I don't think they really help in any way towards stunting a big bike. The only thing a pit bike helped me with is a bit of fear reduction

Everything is different on a pit bike compared to a real bike... you can maybe pick up some rear brake control, but I can't comment on that as I was already stunting my CBR for a year before I ever rode a pit bike. Just because you can circle a pit bike all day long, doesn't mean you can on a real bike.............. it's 100% different in my opinion!

So um, wouldn't reccomend trying to stunt the Buell in the same way as the pit bike.....try staggered and learn to slow it down and stuff first.staggered... not standing on the rear axle !

 

Just get some knee pads/elbow pads/wear your gloves and helmet and maybe get a back protector and then just get your friends to tackle you down and you'll soon figure out it don't hurt... So maybe the fear of falling on the bike won't be so bad???

 

lol no dude I also stunt the big bike can slow down already just can't circle. No not bmx pegs to buell , pegs on bmw 650 cross challenge.Have had my fair share of crashes in the last year .dont stunt the buell anymore. The pitbike helped to slow things down and brake and throttle control . Thanks for the advice seems it is just seat time now
