Went out today for about 40 minutes. The weather was beautiful in the low 80's. Washed my bike for probably the last time this year. It's going to get cold soon. The wife took this pic of me right before we went out for a quick ride to split a few wigs. My stoppies are getting sick! I'm finally hitting the balance point and rolling them pretty good. Last weekend I had a good scare doing them in town when I hit some uneven pavement and the front end started to shake. The steering stabilizer saved my ass that day and payed for itself and then some. My boy who was riding with me thought I was going to bite it. My pucker factor was tight for a few seconds, but I jumped right back into doing them again to get the scared factor out of my system.

On the way over to get some gas the wife was behind me and I pulled a staggered stance wheelie that was every bit of 3/4 of a mile if not longer. She told me ok when is he going to bring it down, but I kept riding it out. The best part about it was I was going between 50-60 mph. It was the longest wheelie I have ever pulled. It suprised the shit out of me too.

damn meatstick, you just earned a Kick Ass! factor from the thumbsup group! http://www.klr650.net/forum/images/smiles/nice.gif

Great form!! One tip, if you look stright and not down, you will go further and higher...also, speed is your friend on endos.. i start to roll them at around 80mph...aonther thing.. while you are on the way up.. tap the rear brake. that will stop the wheel and stop the clunking noise when the tire hits the floor...

High Chairs and tank spreaders will be next year! One thing at a time alright. I got to master the basic stuff right now. :grn

Joe, thanks for the pointers bro! Nic pics too. Next time I get out, hopefully again this year, I will try to make a conscious effort to look forward. I know what you mean about speed being your friend. A buddy of mine looped one going pretty slow at a traffic light. I told him it is easier to do them at a higher speed. I normally come in between 40-50 mph when I do them. Anything over 50 mph and you have some serious balls. 80 mph is just sick! I've read that some of these guys who roll them a couple hundred of feet are coming in over 100 mph.

100 mph, that gives new meaning to the word sick :eek:

Thats just crazy.... I can only do it like 5 feet at the longest
