AKA... the not so smart bike??

Actually, sticking with the show-off, hot rod, muscle bike theme, perhaps a name like 'Smart Xss Bike' might be more appropriate....

 

[OddJob]

And you just proved why you did this build TRM....because muscle bikes are ...FUN! Awesome work per uzh. Can't wait for the final pics!

Not I, said the Falstaff. I can't even do it with both hands.

Looks like all the R&D on the wheelie bar paid off. Great wheelie vid.

You and 1HP have got me really wanting a bike with a wheelie bar now.

The one handed Alabama wheelie! Super job TRM!

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Thanks everyone!
The wheelie bars are certainly a challenge, but once I discovered that shifting my weight back just a little helped, it got easier. It's still hit or miss though, it took quite a few tries before I got comfortable enough to drop one hand!

I normally avoid shooting pictures in direct sun light, but this paint doesn't like the shade. I headed out to a nearby parking lot in the early afternoon and shot what may be my final pix today. I've still got a couple of more days to experiment, so I'm not committing just yet.

Here's a teaser.

I was able to return to the parking lot after dark to try some night shots... I'm finished!

Here's a couple of front runners:

I like the top shot better.
If I didn't know any better, I'd those are two different wheel sizes, trippy.....

Anyone great build Jim. [emoji1363]

Thanks Rob! I like it too.
But I keep changing my mind. I just edited that post and changed my second choice.

 

[metalchewy]

I didnt see the first second pic before you changed it, but I do like that new one.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Great stuff! Love the video!

Not I, said the Falstaff. I can't even do it with both hands.

Me neither!

The last pic has a little more mysterio quality to it. Like it might be the last bike on earth, with the ground splitting beneath it to send it into another world.....

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I like the 'new #2' even better!
The mango looks less 'coppertone-y'

Wrong TV series, but since you went there...
