I've had mine airborne at about 200kph when I went over a bridge and I realised the bridge was higher than the road. Only went airbourne for about 5m though. Still scared the **** outta me.

I wouldn't suggest it. I've done it but it's a bit scary with such a heavy bike. You don't have much say in path selection once in the air with such mass between your legs. I wheelie my bike quite often and have not had to replace a seal due to them yet...

Well, for the past 6 months or so I'm been lifting the front more and more often as my confidence builds. For the last 2 months straight I've been practicing every morning in front of work and I have ABUSED the front end! LOL. I know it's only a matter of time before I get a leak but I'm suprised how long the seals have held up. When I get scared, there's nothing graceful about how the front end comes back down.
