    Miss the guy, too bad he is all whipped now and doesn't come on the site anymore; for a years he was one of the tops posters He should be having a kid with Ashli pretty soon now, she got prego like right after they got married!
    Actually he was teaching the kid who's bike it was how to wheelie.

    Want to bet on this? I know because I was involved when he had to pay this guy back for the damage. He was use to riding a Vtwin SV650 so the inline was a bit different than what he was use to. Hoopty would never loop a wheelie...he use to go past the balance point and pull it back just for fun!

    Don't remember the guy other than he was very short...like 5 feet tall.

    I can't find anything on the actual incident, so I may be wrong but that's how I remember it.

    You remember wrong old man! Just think of it this way, who would teach a begginer to wheelie from a start (dead stop)? Hoopty taught me and we started with wheelies when we were already moving. I'd think a wheelie from a start would be harder.

    I also remember he wanted to use my F4I to pracitice starts but I could not make it that day. Hoopty did a few wheelie school on CSC though.

    I'll back this up. He was practicing starts for the race season (on someone's bike) since he just had the SV. Soooooo.... suck it Kyle!!

    BTW, that was the first day I met Loopty..... I mean Poopty.... I mean Hoopty, Barn and Big-J.

    Will is rebuilding the top end of his new ktm after shoving the valves into the piston on a likely timing chain slip. After I'm done with school on Thursday I'll be doing some coors lot practice sessions in the coming weeks.

    He said he was planning on getting sumo wheels soon too.
