Doug DOMOKOS: Mono on a hill ...

[GD66]

Doug is a legend! Seeing him wheelie a complete lap of the '80 Sydney Supercross track on a KLX250 was awesome.. he also wheelied across the Sydney Harbour bridge on a Z1000
Lombard street is super steep and that was a big achievement in the day..
and i think it is a KX250 in the video clip

A Z1300 in fact : then he did one outside the showground on it and trashed the rear tail light and number plate...

I seem to recall reading he ran a small motor on the front wheel to keep it spinning to aid in the gyroscopic effect,if you look closely at the front end i reckon you can see something fitted to the lefthand fork leg of that kx,dunno how it was powered,electric i guess? spinning wheel or not the dude could chuck a mean monowheel

Yes he did. An electric motor.
I saw him too. It must have been at the Sydney supercross as well. I thought it was at the Brisbane entertainment centre. There was an up and over that he took a couple of goes to do but he still did it. Went round the whole track on the rear wheel.

Its sounds like a kdx 175 and I heard he roll the motor forward, I thought he also did a world distance record and refueled on the run at Datona or somewhere.
