My first wheelie

[Kanati]

(Nekosohana @ Jun. 09 2007,08:47) So no more wheelies for me.  It was kinda cool to have the experience, but realistically, that was not my idea of fun.

hehe...  I had a car messing with me a few weeks ago and usually I just ignore them, but this one sounded mean and had rear tires (I was behind him) that were about 8 feet wide so I figured what the hell...  He romped on it and so did I and I could already see it wasn't nearly the monster it sounded like.  I was looking to his left and seeing if it was safe to pass and shifted to second...  OR SO I THOUGHT.  I short shifted it and hit neutral.  

 Quick like a bunny shifted to second and didn't realize I did so at about 8000rpm.  Sucker shot up in the air and I decided I didn't need to pass this guy nearly as much as I had originally wanted.  Shifted to third and backed off, letting it come back down to earth.   I'm staying away from the wheelies for at least another week as well.
