Stoppies on a 1995 ZX9R...

Following a mate - he stops at a set lights.

So... Me being clever, thought it would be REALLY cool to stoppie right next to him...

I come flyin up from behind, apply the brakes, lean forward... Schweet...

I stopped just before the line, rear wheel same height as his head... - I'M A PHARKIN LEGEND!...

Now the word to look for in this story is 'stopped'... I found this is a 'bad' way to end a stoppie... cause you loose sideways balance...

The rear came down on an angle and when it landed, I couldn't hold the bike up...D'oh!... So i had to put it down on the road (with everyone at lights watching ) and my mate too busy laughing to help pic it up.

Oh well...

Did you damage it?

small scratches on the left side fairing...

Did more damage to it when I dropped it riding across another mates lawn...

Neva fixed it, cause some mofo pinched it while I was at work.

Thats why I've got an '01 now...

Sucks when stunts dont go how u want them to go!!!!!!!

Can u please explain what a "mofo" is to people who dont live in WA.

I thought everyone knew what a mofo was???

Lemme look it up

mofo is urban slang for "Mother F%*ker"

Hope this helps...

Yeah, i've never heard it before.

I dont think anyone in melb would have either!

Odd, thought it would have been a common term.

Surely it's not just SA and WA?

I pretty sure its only WA ans SA.

You bastards are weird in those area's.

Been to SA and it was ok but alot of difference in language and behaviour.

Prolly all the sunlight gettin to ya...

Yeah, i've never heard it before.

I dont think anyone in melb would have either!

this ol' black duck in Melb has heard of it (see I am not an ol' fart)
its seen as a gangster rap word.... for use in polite company....
watch RAGE on ABC you lot....
ok?

ok ok

maybe i've been too sheltered

Mofo is common mina - you're very sheltered - they musta built a place with high celings to keep you indoors

Mofo is common mina - you're very sheltered

mina. i say again. u r a tool. (sometimes)

remember when the little kid sees his dad score a TD and shouts out "thats my mofo!" then his mum kicks his arse.
