    Why not to do wheelies

    Sorry couldn't come up with a better title. Figured this was a cool shot and belongs in here so if not im sure someone will move it.
    Last nights project, and classroom aid. Started at around 10:15 finished at about 11. Could probably be done in 30mins.

    And the honda group.

    not to mention the steering head bearings go junk from not landing a wheelie smooth. replacing them are more work that fork removal and installation.
