USING 7,000-11,000 POWERBAND
I CAN'T DO THESE BUT THIS IS HOW I'VE HEARD IT'S DONE ON AN FZR:
WHEELIES: Dropping a tooth in the front is a good idea. In first gear at anywhere from 4500 to 7000 rpm accellerate for a few seconds chop the throttle then whack it open. Now you are going solo. Blip on the throttle to keep it up.
STOPPIES: With a clean bit of pavement in front of you and no one behind and high performance tires do the following. Lift up your butt so it sits on the edge of the top of the gas tank. Brace yourself with your legs around the tank. From about 40mph, progressively brake until the very last few yards apply maximum braking force. You may begin to slide in the front if you get it wrong, I have a number of times, and it's scarier than shit to brake "head-first" like that, but if you get it right you can get 2 or 3 feet of air! But then again, on the other hand, you stand the risk of flipping head first on to the ground with potentially life-threatening results, or even worse, get paralized from the next down, or even scrape your boobies off on a half a mile stretch of road from here to Rite-Aid. Oh well, have fun!
