My first wheelie

[lllsyntaxlll]

Holy #### that was exciting!

I've had quite a few bike but never wheelied.

Then I found this article from superbike....

I can find it anymore but heres a videolink.

The article said just close the throttle and the roll it on smoothly. I didnt think it was that easy. heh. Made my lunch break about 1000000 times better!

Just wanted to share.

Have seen that vid a couple times. Wheelies can be addicting, so remember there is a time and a place!

I used to love wheelies, until I had to start paying for fork servicing, seals, springs, etc...not as much fun once you pay for it once. They are addicting at times though

Ah, wheelies. Not too hard to do, and there's a lot of finesse in doing them. I like to lift the front end enough to feel it, and set it down real soft. Don't want to slam it down, for sure. The Busa really wheelies easy. All that torque... ummmm.... nice.

as tglander said,set em down soft...it can be done and takes lots of practice...
Everytime I get it up high,I get the pucker effect in the rearend,and that is when she comes down hard...
other than that, a 1-1/2 ft. wheelie comes down smoothe..

 

[PaNDeM1C]

I've lifted my front off the ground but only a little bit. I think I need to get on the throttle more...

I can live down a drop on gravel when I hit that rut... but I would have a hard time living down a crash from losing control of a wheelie! So taking it very slow...
