riding along, sitting on the tank

[jonb]

so i totally copped this move from instance when i saw him doing it the other night. it snot amazing or requiring a lot of talent but its a lot of fun :D so thanks to instance for doing it in front of me and making me do it....is there a "formal" name for it?

i cant wait to hook up proper wheelies then i can probably hopefully pull highchairs :D

Pictiures... I want pictures!!!!!

i think highchairs are the 1's where you have your legs over the windshield. tank wheelies are when they're just danglin over the sides.

either port or BTB can explain it better.

true stingray but in nerd fashion, i feel this is a good progression to getting up over the double bubble when the time comes :nerd

I still remember the first day Instance saw me pulling that move up on the Hill. Ahhhh fond memories:blush I'm always curious what the Harley Riders on Niles Canyon are thinking when they see us going through Niles Canyon riding on the tank , sitting crossed up and skitching. The best was when I passed a Ferrari sitting on my tank. Sitting on the tank is also a good way to stretch your legs and get out of the seat for a little while on a long ride.

yo.... are you guys riding tomorrow?

WERD. I live in Modesto and thats 87 miles from where I work. I usually have to sit on my tank on the back country roads just cause my legs start bitchin. I wanna try sitting on the tank with my choke pulled out so that I can ride the tank with no hands.

Always happy to influence the people with some :instance lyness....:D

Like Day U IZ has said, I often sit on my tank on them long ass rides to stretch my legs, or when I get bored. I guess I could just take my feet off the pegs and hang them down but what fun would that be......:D :D

Sitting on tank while in a wheelie = Tank Wheelie

Sitting on Tank with both legs over the windshield( i.e. crossed up) = High Chair.

Be Safe StillArt being squidley!!!!!! :D

Correction: High chairs are crossed-up wheelies (a la Port4mance).

Does that mean that BTB's crossed-up endos are booster chairs??

[Instance]

Bah!!!!! I forgot to put wheelie....:D BAMBOOZLED again by the C.E.O.....:D

[Preston]

A little correction here.....

feet over the windshield = highchair wheelie
feet over the windshield with legs crosses = crossed up wheelie

Ever the wealth of knowledge BTB..

[Port4mance]

I'll make it easy for all of you! It's kinda hard to tell my feet are crossed on the crossed up but if you look close you can see that they are.

Oooooo - now we're getting into subleties...

So what's it called when you're just dangling your feet over the windshield without popping the wheel off the ground?
