Is anyone raising his Paso (Willy)

[Antzo]

When we were kids we use to raise the bicycles and later the 50cc Honda Cub mopeds which are very popular in Greece.
I stopped at the age of 20. Some other kids of the neighbourhood who continued crazy stants Saluted to the flag and went straight to heaven (or hell). Some others have scars to remember those days.
I was just wondering if there are crazies in here who do crazy things with there Pasos or are we all old farts being overtaken by fear and logic that comes with age

What do you mean with "raise" the bike?
Do you mean the wheelies and other crazy things?
If so, I was too scared to do such stuff when I was young, now I'm nearly 43 and our bikes nearly 20 .

Yes Wheelie is the word ? I did not know how to spell it

[Finnpaso]

If Antzo means "wheeling" (i think, he means), i do such sometimes with my ST4S as it is very easy with enough powerfull bike. With 907 it is quite difficult, as i have noticed

[JoKing]

Wheelies only by accident (the powerful ST3-engine does this..), but stoppies (on the front wheel) on every ride

[higgy]

No wheelies here, a few unintended stoppies on the 907,906 can't do either....yet

[ducbertus]

a wheely doesn't bring speed, so it's a waiste of time.
a stoppie or near stoppie save's time and therefore alowed.

Speed is not always everything, in sex for instance if you are speedy you loose In the same way a rider might enjoy more doing acrobatics with his bike than going with 300km/h in a straight line....

[ducbertus]

the fastest way from A to B is a ..... CURVE
straight lines sucks, that's for Harleys

...which isn`t possible, even with my 907 ... ( to reach 300km/h)

[Antzo]

even if it is downhill and storm wind from the back???

[JoKing]

Rev limiter strikes @267,8 km/h or so

[Antzo]

I have not gone with my Paso over 120 km/h in the few rides that I have gone to since I bought her. But even when I learn the bike my Brain limiter I am sure will cut me around 160 (Don't judge me to hard, I want to see my children grow up )
By the way how fast can a stock Paso go ???

[JoKing]

I think a good running 907 can get up to 220km/h, maybe true 225...

its not speed that kills you...its the sudden stop!
