There is a hill near where I was living, come over it doing 100k's, would be half way down before the wheels come back down, then had to max brakes to make the stop sign.I did that nearly every morning on my CB750

Hi Sawnee,

Um, just looking at your avatar....both wheels off the ground?????
Thats not me its the late GREAT Joey Dunlop on the Isle of Man, Mr Honda.
Have done the two wheel thing (brown trouser time) on a Yamaha RD 350LC,proddy race tuned (the works) fast as f###, but one of those bikes that you knew would kill ya!!

Now that was the "tool" for wheelies, too old for all that now .

I test rode a Yamaha RD350 & the RD250, the 350 was quick but the 250 was something else, death on 2 wheels.
