Did you asked permission for that lot? Sometimes people are really nice and if you have a permission you can flip off the cops like i do lol.
those pop-a-stoppies will flip real easy.

I'm not entirely sure who owns it, there are no gates or anything to get to it. I'd assume it belongs to the bank head quarters place next door. I've ridden there 2 days so far, and the 1st day was with a noisy ass RC car and not 1 person has come and bothered us so far.
I'd rather just go with the "oops i didn't know u owned this parking lot" approach incase New Breeds situation happens to me.
If i went there during office hours i'm sure they'd complain eventually, but it seems good on weekend so far
The cops did drive through the parking lot the 1st day actually, but i was out riding the street a bit and when i came back i saw them there and quickly turned around and waited for them to go away. I'm not exactly doing anything illegal there. I'm in an industrial area and i take the bike there on bakkie (i dunno if that's a South African word only? truck?). If they stopped me on the street it'd be a different story, but i don't stop for cops when i'm on a bike since i have no legal bikes or a license

Haha dude! Everything u say in your thread is the exact same for me! Also a tall mofo at like 6'4" and came from a dirtbike and not used to such high revs! I short shift so much on the streets, doing a couple drag runs against a RC car has helped me realise there is much more power in this bike than i am harnessing. I've luckily learnt to save myself with the footbrake on a pitbike and the yz250f, not controlled though, just stab it. Have also kinda learnt handbrake on bicycle, hopefully that comes in handy. Used to ride my dirtbike almost everyday on the streets practicing 4th gear fast wheelies :/ Streetbike is totally different though, so much weight! Plus is requires actual skill to go slowly!
I have much more time to edit videos than to ride unfortunately haha. I use vegas pro 11, pretty damn simple once you've edited your 1st video. I just watched some youtube tutorials and have the basics down now. Still time consuming though
