Author Message   Ducbsa Posted on Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 01:41 pm:        Had my first yesterday. Wasn't ready for the car in front to stop and squeezed the brake hard. It felt like the tire was about 2 ft high, but was surely less. I had the bike straight, so no drama. I think once is enough and will try to leave more space and keep both tires on the pavement.   Firebolt32 Posted on Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 01:48 pm:        My first one made me pucker for sure! I pulled it off as well. I happened to have a car full of chickies next to me when it happened. My oh shit turned into cool points that quick!   Andymnelson Posted on Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 02:21 pm:        Used to do them coming up alongside cars at stoplights. Was really fun when I would go to one side of a car, and a buddy on the other side. ....back in my squid days... I canned the brakes hard enough on the Xb once last year on the freeway when I got cut off that I locked up the front at about 75 mph....that'll make you pucker! ....and crush lefty a bit too...ouch!   Iman501 Posted on Friday, April 23, 2010 - 12:04 am:        i have been experimenting with my brakes to see how hard i can squeeze them at different speeds before i lose contact with my back wheel. i dont plan on doing stoppies for fun b/c i know it'll just bite me in the end if i do, but i do want to know how hard i can squeeze before i get suprised by a stoppie   Delta_one Posted on Friday, April 23, 2010 - 12:06 am:        quote: I canned the brakes hard enough on the Xb once last year on the freeway when I got cut off that I locked up the front at about 75 mph....that'll make you pucker! ....and crush lefty a bit too...ouch! I did that near the end of the season last summer, my pulse was racing for at least 20 minutes after the fact.   Irideabuell Posted on Friday, April 23, 2010 - 07:01 am:        I was leaving Robbinsville a few years ago heading for the Dragon when an old man in a very old Lincoln Town Car cut me off to the point where I did a very impressive stoppie. There were a couple of guys on bikes coming the other way that gave me very high thumbs up. If they only knew...   Babired Posted on Friday, April 23, 2010 - 11:32 am:        I did them all the time ( unintentionally) on the XB9SX and had a few on my old Tuber coming off of Battle Trax a couple of times. Total Control level 2 teaches you the correct body position for a stoppie last summer I was taking this class and even the guys with the big BMW LT's with the linked brakes got a little off of the ground. Teaching Rider's Edge sometimes I did them when doing the quick stop demo. They're fun aren't they? K
