Well, I just got back from a semi exciting ride. During the past week, any time i would leave the house, I would take my bike. rather than taking main streets, i would cut through the "less traffic" streets and pop the clutch. at roughly 15 mph at about 6500rpm, I would pop the clutch but continue to increase the throttle. Long story short, today I went for a ride and was determined I was going to do this. I had full gear, and my Bullet proof vest just for my piece of mind. LOL> Anyways, this time I pulled the clutch at 7500 and blipped the throttle; my front wheel was about at a 9 o clock angle. The best part of it all was that I wasn't shaky afterwards. Now for the bad part. I wouldn't necessarily call this a wheelie, rather bringing my front wheel damn high and then landing incredibly hard. My fork seal went out: most likely some internals are bashed up a bit.
Just wanted to share the excitement.
thanks for the advice. Next step is to learn to repair my own mistakes and try not to ride it out next time
