    Start by covering the rear brake like TB says and then actually pop the clutch out whilst lifting revs and you will get the thing happening, one of the biggest things that bring you undone is your body in the wrong spot,usually to far forwards, get seated with your arms straight, this will move your weight back and then when the angle gets high it will be easier to stay there, lock your arms and then when it goes up dont lean forwards you will be fighting yourself then, whilst covering the back brake if it gets out of shape simply push the rear brake and it will go down real quick, and when you have practiced heaps you can change gears on the rear wheel, and throw legs out to steer, all cool and choice fun….come to a school and I will teach you my friend :) :)

    That’s what I said rat, are you running any schools over the christmas new year period, if so I could have 4 clients for you.

    Must have been on the 125’s then, the first watercooled 80 was the J, my mate had the J and I had the K (radiator on the side) and now I have an S if I ever get time to put it back together.

    Scotty Your opinions are well valued!!! I pretty much already decided the prado but thought i’d do a bit more poking around on the territory it’s cheaper!

    Very Nice, I didn’t think the YZ’s were watercooled until the J model, did he mod it.

    Definately will whanny, I’m finding that as I get better obstacles on the trail are much easier to overcome, logs, holes etc become very easy to get over, basically I go down a gear and pull the clutch rev the F out of it drop the clutch whilst pulling up on the bars and pushing your weight towards the back of the bike… Practice Practice Practice… Do as I say not as I do ;) ;)

    Prado is not as thirsty as the territory.I used to have a turbo diesel and my wife drives a territory.Typical ford plastics break easy on all the gadget things inside. Allthough over long distance drives i reckon the ford is heaps better like when your on the freeway etc alot smoother on the road.Prado is alot tougher in the bush.If your gonna be a towny go the ford…if you are going to belt it in the bush…go the prado.

    Bol :woohoo:

    Cheers Bol, it will be mostly town but also to tow the bikes/trailer, also want to start getting out in the bush more as the kids are getting a bit older now.

    A slight long up hill is a good start, the best wheely I ever did was on the nundle ride, (in a paddock going up hill) I’m no expert but getting better, the KATA 400 makes it easier than the 250 but I’m still practicing. Some guys make it look so easy.

    Cheers
