| Broke the mile barrier I go out about once a day and do a couple laps around the neighborhood, been doing this for about 3 years. I have had a goal of a mile long wheelie on the 50 for a while. Last summer I did a .9 mile staggered standup. This summer I have gotten a few sitdowns to .5 mile. Today I was out for a casual rip and cranked off a 1.3 mile sitdown wheelie. As you might have guessed I jumped in the car to measure it. The green line is the path of the wheelie. The red dot is my house. No one probably cares but I thought it was cool.  |

Yeah right, hate to tell them we do that every Wednesday and Saturday at the Compound. Sit downs, rear pegs, seat standers. Hell, even Josh almost has the highchairs now... | |

| Re: Broke the mile barrier I watched a guy that used to hang with us ride a 7 mile standup down the highway on his R1. It was the wheelie and the car that ran the red light that got him in the end. Wheelies and corners kill. |
