You're right about that. There was one huge wheelie in there I could't believe.
...I found myself leaning forward on the bike during that burst of acceleration to keep the front end down . So real.

We have a twisty extremely narrow road with short abrupt elevation changes right where I live. Colin drove it with me when he was down. Years ago I pulled a wheelie stunt like that but came down in the other lane inches from being off the road and into the lake. I didn't take into account the small bend in the road and the amount of air time I had coming off a rise in the road. Needless to say it was the last wheelie I ever did.
You guys should make it to Z Dayz next year. It's for G's too. Driving the Dragon is a rush.

.I can relate to the other half part. I'm in the same boat.
Was lucky with my first and only bike accident. Totalled the bike, woke up in the ambulance nearly at the hospital but no broken parts.
A couple of links for those interested in the trip.
