I actually considered doing this.

I can ride, I used to Motocross, I can make anything with some guidance. Why not?

I don't heal as fast anymore?

My dad used to do that.

Heal fast? My left arm is finally at about 90%, from a crash last August. I pulled something lifting the bike up after I went down

Cool to watch, but I want to keep at least one tire on the ground. It hurts a little less when you fall over.

My favorite part of riding in the dirt was always climbing hills, but, damn, the big wheelies scare me.

This is why I don't ride or race a motorcycle. I like lots of metal around me when I screw up. Preferably in the shape of a rollcage.

I saw one similar to this yesterday. Why would anyone do this to a street bike? (I refer to the extended swingarm.)

In reply to Kia_racer:

The original idea was for drag racing in order to increase the wheelbase and the street bike guys just copied the look.

Yeah, now it only tosses pebbles at your helmet.

Thanks. I saw them on hillclimb bike and was never a big dragbike fan, thus the disconnect.

you can do it not far from you dan down in Monson Mass. http://www.quaboagridersmc.com/home.asp

Leave it to 44 to throw kerosene on a fire.

I love the acceleration before he wads it at 1:26.

Seems to be a little gap in the middle of that hill!

The Bentonite Nightmare. Balls. Pure balls.

Is that the hill they call The Widowmaker?

That's the one. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot myself. I carry enough extra weight to hold the front wheel down easily.
