defective voteing machine?

Hey, if this voteing machine had been from Florida, then we could have answered properly ! Actually I have done more than one of those things. How do I vote correctly? I know I know! I need to ask a Democrat from florida if I want to learn to cheat the polling process!!!

Yes.

Chattered teeth at 170+, not brakes.

Does the wheelie have to be during a race ? If not, then yes.

Yes.

Yes, but not on purpose.

The only one i can answer yes to is the Spinning rear while pulling the front up. I do this on my zx9 all the time. Its a really cool feeling when the back is breaking loose side to side and the front is a good 1 to 2 feet in the air. I always wanted to get a video from the back.... cool as hell...

There should be a selection for "all the above."


Oh, & "scraped your knee" should be "dragged or used" your knee. There is a purpose for it if your a track rider...

I was in a racing class at a track and the instructor opened up the floor for questions and one of the first ones that came up was "what do I need to do to be able to drag a knee ?"

His response was interesting. First he said it was one of the most asked questions because people assumed that if you're doing that then you're good or fast and that this was far from the truth. He went on to say it all had to do with riding style and that people develop their own to some degree and we shouldn't be looking to put a knee down to prove anything. His last comment was that he was wearing a set of leathers that were four years old and had the original pucks on them because he rarely puts a knee down and if any of the "fast" riders would like to pass him in a corner dragging a knee he was up for the challenge. There were no takers in the class and I saw none of the pros that day that were any faster than he was.

How about spinning the rear tire and then getting grip then the front came off the ground? It's the best that I can do.
