WHEELIES RULE JACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's one thing that I can never get enough of on the 12R. I will wheelie that fuckin' thing so many times when I'm out on a ride it's pathetic. It is so confidence inspiring on the back wheel, feels very stable and gives good feedback. You will learn what true throttle control is when you've got that monster stood straight up at about a buck 20.
It's so cool to come out of a nice 50-60 mph turn and whack that throttle and instantly feel the front wheel leave the ground and continue skyward. It's even cooler when you're in a section of twisties that allows you to do this 5 or 6 times in a row and are close enough together that the only time your wheel is down is while negotiating the turn. THAT FUCKIN' RULES!!!!!!!

Yeah man, but don't fret because we're gonna do it again. With the money Otisha is makin' me and you right now we'll be able to finance some EXCELLENT bike trips next year. I've got a deal going right now to get him/her access to the Detroit Lions locker room. That MF will bend over backwards to make us some loot. LMFAO
