It happens too many times to me that a car full of kids stop beside you at a light and yell WHEELIE,WHEELIE,WHEELIE.....what will you do?
 
Looka around, mini burnout. I dont try to stand my 3" lowered baby up much.
 
I let them leave the light a little early roll Haya up to about 3 grand & stand her up for about 100 yards. They love it last week 2 cars were side by side going really slow (Fricking lookie lous) so I told my self split'em. yaked her up about midway between cars leaned to right lane was cool. I even seen cops cars here twice while in the air and set it right down then & never even got pulled over yet! haya looks great in da air. But.... theres a time && place for everything! Enjoy
 
I'm morally obligated to oblidge.

Kids are great; they actually ENJOY and ENCOURAGE wheelies. They don't mind if it's small, big, or one of those that you get kinda sideways and look like a dork.

As oppossed to adult who simply consider them childish, rude, out of control, blah blah blah.

I still remember being a kid. I still remember watching a guy doing a wheely past our school bus, and I remember thinking, "FCUK, THAT'S COOL!" So did every one of my friends.

All you anti-wheely nazi's can go check on how your luggage is doing...
 
A few years back at Bike week in Dayton in front of Crystals a large crowd of sport bike riders would greet each bike that pulled into the parking lot with a chant of " Burn it...Burn it. Most of the riders felt obligated and baked the tire for a few minutes. I liked the remark of a guy that pulled in riding a new bike. He said to the chanters " Burn your own I am still paying on mine."
 
Kids, I dont see kids.
Hot chicks will have my front end heading north way quicker. Especially a carload.
Is it just me or do you guys ever get flashed some titties out there?
 
Even when those kids are actually in their 17 or 18 and look drunk or on drugs?? I will do small ones if the traffic is ok but NEVER
for the smart as* shouting at me and demanding a show. They don't deserve it.
 
Don't wheelie much since I like to keep my two front tube unit from getting oil leaks,only time wheelie comes in when some jerk in a BMW-Z,or other sport cars comes along and wants to out run my bike.
 
Curious,

Yes, it is less than a mile, country backroads. I don't go more than 15-20mph. He sits on the back, has his own helmet. Law in Mass. says passengers feet must reach pegs, he does. He holds on to me, plus I hold him with left hand.

I don't recommend this for everyone, but my kids start riding @ 2 years old....On a PW50. To each his own.

You show off of course! Last week I had the opportunity to show off for a bus load of kids. There was heavy traffic and I was behind the bus. I let it get ahead of me for enough to do a wheelie then fanned the clutch and hung a nice one. I was already on the front brake when I came down and screached to a halt about 15 feet behind them. I saw the entire bus load looking out the back. There must have been 70 kids in there. So I did that 2 more times. The kids were giving the peace sign and waving and the pinky and thumb thing (hang loose?). The exited to the right and it was about 50 yards in front of me because I was going to do a longer one. I hung one from way back and all the way past the bus. I have 2 kids and love to show off. I'll hang a wheelie for anybody who wants to watch.

The Busa may not like stoppies, but loves wheelies!

By all means - if someone says WHEELIE! do a frickin wheelie!

Well to quote the wheelie king Winky from New York City. "I tho it up" as best I can. Of course I give a quick visual scan for cops. Sometimes even the dad smiles. I, like one of the posters above remember seeing some guys wheelie a sreet bike when I was a kid and thinking some day I will do that. Well I am 36 and I still like to see it. Lets face it the wheelie is the coolest move of all bike stunts. Even though a stoppie may be harder most people dont understand it unless they ride.

"Its time to Tho it up"
