I thought you just strapped the crustacean to the exhaust, then when you finish your ride, you have perfectly cooked lobster to eat

You'll need titanium coated pistons & a large crustacean to pull this off.
I am SOOO curious... what's the crustacen for???
Obviously, so people know you have a mussel bike.

So, how hard is it to pop a wheelie with a shaft-drive?

Surprisingly..........not all that hard at all.





First you need a stout rope and an anchor off at least a DDE, and about an 1/8th of a mile of straight road to get up to speed on......................




opps....almost forget to mention the quick release device :party: :party:
Always ask why.

Depends which shaft drive bike it is...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

BMW has some pretty press photos of R's and K's doing big wheelies.

I'm not sure mine can wheelie at 48 hp or even if i'll try after I get done with the break in.
