Guys,
I know there are a lot of avid Bikers out there and I'd just like to let you in on an absolutely <B>FAB</B> day out....
On Satureday, I went to Kemble airfield (near Swindon) for a day at the Wheelie School. Yes, believe it or not, there is now a place you can go where you can learn to wheelie properly, on the throttle on someone elses bike. They give you a Suzuki Bandit 1200 and you get enough time to put in about 100 practice wheelies!!!!
It's an absolute blast and I came away not only having had the time of my life but I can now pull 45 degree, controlled wheelies on the throttle (no clutch butchering required) with confidence. And because I've learnt the "on the throttle" technique, I can now wheelie bikes that don't have a lot of power so should be able to wheelie pretty much anything!!!!!
Anyone else interested???? You won't regret it - BTW, if you can't pull stonking wheelies by the end of the day, they will give you your money back!!!!
A couple of pics to wet your appetite (from someone who knows how to ride fast but couldn't pull a wheelie to save his life (until Sat!!
)):
Go do it, you know you want to

This is something I've thought about doing, but have always been a bit sceptical. Going by what I've read it sounds as though it's a right blast.
Is there any chance you could provide me with the details, or is it just quicker for me to my MCN or PB, etc...
