Thumbers?  In these here parts they were called thumpers.  And them old
BSA's used to rule!  As a kid I used to go to the BSA shop & dream about
them bikes.  750 Lightning, etc.

That's why you haven't heard of it then, the old drum brakes back then
didn't have enough stopping power to do a stoppie :)

If you're talking about stopping the bike and doing a burnout, yeah, with dual
axis pedals or dual axis whatever-you're-using, it's possible. If you're
referring to something else, I have no idea.

I have only a passing interest in bike sims but new exactly what a stoppie
is.  I think it must be a UK term as you suggest.  I have certainly heard it
mentioned by British stunt riders on TV here.

Cheers
