You know your getting old when your 13 year old son beats you in a wheelie competition for the first time.
All bets are now off and serious sledging will have to commence!
All jokes aside, I just couldn't be more proud of him and I'm off to practice more

well he certainly seems to have it under control!
If I was you, I'd blame the fact that he has a newer bike.. and then never upgrade so it can always be an excuse!

Just don't tell him that it is easier to wheelie on a twinshock
It's good to see a mature rider enjoying wheelies, especially on such a nice bike.
I hope you can come to Brooweena with that Mont because Cedric's 247 will also be there and he is currently doing a great job getting it to look good (it goes good already).

"upgrade" from a Cota 247 to a modern bike? What the?

I knew as soon as I posted it and re-read that I said upgrade that it was bound to get a response like this!! I should've guessed it would be you David! To keep everybody happy, upgrade refers to the year model of the bike....

I have heard many good things about the annual Brooweena trial and have searched the website but can't seem to find event dates. Can anyone give me the dates and directions to the event site? Thanks Lindsay

the new bikes are like cheating anyway...
I reckon all the Boniface boys should go back to twinshocks, but they would win everything anyway. Again..
