I Wish The Scoot Made Lots Of Noise

Postby Rich B » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:18 pm

After spending a day with Bikers i wish the scoot could pull a wheelie on the M48 at 30 mph and produce a 190 dB so after trawling the internet found this power upgrade which should give me another 120 HP so will certainely invest in one for next year can`t wait for Pat and his Black and White cat then might be able to reach warp factor 5 Mr Sulu

Yep - the guy zooming past us on the motorway whilst pulling a wheelie looked very impressive! Apparently it's very easy to lift the front wheel when riding a powerful motorbike - a lot of bikers do it a little when pulling away from the lights, it's just a bit of fun, 'specially if they're with a few mates! Young blokes like to show off a bit, and there's nowt wrong with that!

However, (look out- Mr sensible mode on!) it only takes a slight wobble or a bit of side wind or misjudged throttle for things to go seriously wrong! There's hundreds of vids on Youtube of wheelie crashes - one minute showing off looking cool, next second a totally trashed bike and a few weeks eating hospital food!
