Anyone see the launch of the air powered bike the O2 Pursuit? if so what did you think?? Over all show was good, could of had more merchandise and apparel stands but probably too costly to be in it...

Bikebiz ran the kwaka stand, lots of kwaka's there; really dig the 2012 zx10 paint scheme, zx14 looks like a beast and the zx6 paint scheme is pretty disappointing; it looks cheap and blue certainly doesn't go with green!

Some snaps.

The whoolie simulator; there in pensthurst costs $120 for 20 min's to practice on the gixxer.

Learn to wheelie? Maybe it should read "Learn how quickly you can lose your license"...good to see they're teaching responsible riding....

Yeah I know, I guess if you really want to learn to whoolie then 120 bucks in comparison to trashing a 20k bike trying works out to be good deal.

That's actually pretty cool & something worth contemplating if only so i know how to uncock up if i ever do feel foolish enough to have a crack at doing one, or even if i accidentally do one.

Bike show? didn't go, slept from 9am to 3pm today, possibly why I'm up now, should get to bed now i think of it.

To help with heat soak on the radiator (no ram air effect onto the radiator) and is doing a piss poor job at trying to reduce it if thats the case?

If it were my set up; I'd probably have an industrial fan pointing @ 45 degree's in front of bike when its doing a wheelie.

Other possible reason, spraying water on the rear tyre to cool it down? Metal roller/rubber tyre heat friction ?

The yellow thing in front of the bike is a fan..
I wouldn't mind one of theses for shits and giggles.
