Post-bicycle

With only a short break between, tonight I went for a bicycle wheelie ride, then a standard motorcycle wheelie session.

My thoughts? Same as always; no changes. The bicycle, when set up correctly, is so, so easy to wheelie well. And the WR250R, even as light as it is for a streetbike, just feels like a heavy non-responsive-to-my-inputs slug in comparison to a bicycle. Sure that moto will do 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds and the bicy will only go that fast if taken on a base jump, but the level of control available on a mountain bike is second to none.

And I circle back to one of my earlier discoveries... bicycles and motorcycle are apples and oranges.
