I wish i could offer advice, but my 600 doesn't do that shit. Do you do any racing or just track days here and there?

I used to do track days years ago. I have have spent more time riding [what some will call] recklessly on the street than anything else.

It happens to me once in a while, but nothing too regular. I find it doesn't affect my line too much, unless I don't realize the tire's floating and it comes back down and surprises me. Definitely a cool feeling though.

What kind of notes you looking for? I suspect you're not looking for advice to keep the front wheel on the ground.

I hate it when you don't realize the front's up. It happens on my R6 when I take off in 1st from a start or a slow rolling start.

Mine will do it sometimes in 1st if I'm going up a slight hill in the turn.

Now I love watching racers wheelie out of turns.

Just other peoples experiences really...

I've been thinking about trying some various methods to experiment with it. There's always a good story when it comes to technique. I am sure someone has tried tapping the rear brake in that state, what does it do? I plan to try rolling on a little harder, turning it over a bit more while "airborne," and as noted previously, the next step is to get the rear spinning while the front is up...

hahahaha, just kidding, sorta...

Ahh, you're looking for suggestions on how to high-side.

Just kidding. Sorta.
