    yet!

    I have ebc HH pads and discs on the front, with braided lines. It stops
    damned quick!, All I've managed to do so far with it though is to get the
    front wheel to lock up. Don't seem to get the slightest hint of a stoppie.
    Mind ewe, I guess being nigh a 1/3 of a ton, and long, it'll probably not be
    able to get the arse end up ;o)

    someone here Guest

    Saw sumfin on Men and motors,
    geezer going for world record distance stoppie,
    stripped arse end of bike of everything:-
    Mudguard, lights, number plate, brake etc etc.
    Then had a FOAD lump of metal stuck to front of bike.
    Point of balance was moved considerably....

    don't know if it would be enough to counter balance a road king.
    But perhaps that french chappie could be persuaded?

    Craig Jones, on a Buell, with the head light surround (that's full of
    weights, moved about six inches forward (no, they forget to mention that
    bit...)

    They only mention the weights, not the hanging the surround six inches
    forward

    I find his arrogance incredibly offensive, especially the closing
    statement of that vid (it's just Jones' vid rather than a specially made
    TV program). Sadly I can't remember the exact words now, but quite
    simply there are numerous guys out there who can kick his arse in
    stoppies easily, who don't need to cheat by hanging ridiculous amounts
    of weight in front of the wheel spindle, nor do they feel the need to be
    gobby little shits, either

    I have no problem with people who are self confident, but I hate
    arrogance especially from people who really don't have the skills to
    back up the bullshit. He has two tricks - he can stoppie and he can
    twelve, that's it. There are guys at the Ace Cafe who would kick his
    arse in a stunt comp, and they don't feel the need to be arrogant gobby
    little twats

    I believe Ryan Cramer, on a basically stock bike, has the record at well
    over 1,000 feet!
    Jones was doing a show with AC Farias and Kev Carmichael about two years
    ago IIRC. At the end of the show they all went out together. When Farias
    and Carmichael started doing 360 wheelies together Jones first begged
    them to stop then intentionally parked his bike between them to stop
    them ... purely because he can't do 'em

    He's finally admitted to moving the surround, too?
