Well.. I pulled up to the high way on ramp and was thinking.. everyone said that you can rev up in sec gear, let off on the gas, gun it and the wheel will come up. So here I am in the turn going up the ramp... rev, drop, gun, front wheel comes up about 2 inches, chop the power, wobbled the front wheel and jet onto the highway. Riding into work I was thinking.. I GOT TO DO THAT AGAIN. Just trying to think of how I would explain it to the wife, if I dropped the bike doing a wheelie. Oh well, now to work on getting the front up higher without scaring the crap out of myself.

No actually I traded the M2 for the XB12R. The M2 was a good bike.. but I like the XB12r much better. When I walked into the dealer I did the "I GOT'S TO GET ME ONE OF THESE!" lines from Independence Day.

tell me about it, wrecked my brand spanking new M2 three months after i got it by getting grabby in a 1-2 shift at 11 o'clock. watching my baby slide down the road like that, like watching someone kill my dog, i almost cried that day. just this spring, almost three years later, i have finally removed ALL evidence of it.

BE SAFE
