I could hold it up from day 1, usually until my arms got tired.. on my first bike, a turbo booooosa.

lmfao...i can't do a wheelie...nor will I ever want too..nor will I ever try...I'll watch though...Most of the peeps on here are track guys...i can count on my one finger how many people here really stunt..Im sure the track guys can hold a wheelie...but they don't like to squid around and chance runing thier bikes..

Ha, on my first bike which was a '95 Katana...I think maybe once. But that thing was damn near impossible to wheelie. However, on my 929RR, it wheelies when I don't even want it to...which is awesome. I'll dabble in some stunts here and there.

i try to pop it up by just blipping the throttle. I only got one decent one, was for about 4-5 secs about maybe 1 1/2 high. Tried to use the clutch, but its pretty hard to get used to so i'll start trying after i get the roll on to be decent. One of my friends told me how to do it cause he's a sick bastard and does wheelies at like 102 mph and for like 5 miles. I was riding with him one night, he slowed down and i knew he was going to do a wheelie so i kept going about 75 mph. I didn't see him for a good 2 min, i knew i couldn't cause his headlight was up in the air, so i was afraid somethign might of happened to him when i wasn't looking back so i sltarted to slow down, then i saw light come out of no where and suddenly there he was.
But i have more fun doing stoppies. i think i do it ok, but right now its just brake and back end comes up 1-2 feet and then i don't move newhere. I'm kinda afraid of doing a stoppie where the back end is up while the front wheel is moving. But thats where i eventually wanna get at. |
Wheelies = Fun

I learned how to get it up watching skinemax. First time... mebbe 13. Self taught, and can hold onto it for hours.
Kindve personal question though. :P |
i can hit up some wheelies whenever i want just using the gas but i have yet to figure out how to use the clutch.....i used to be really into trying to stunt and shit but i've recently been getting away from that and just want to become a good rider in all situations

If sportbikes were designed to wheelie they'd be equiped with motard forks. I never enjoyed reducing the amount of contact and control my bike had with the street anymore than I needed to. However there were a few highspeed lifts on a certain rolling backroad that were expected, and they only lasted a few seconds at the most.

It only happens for me by mistake, 3-5 secs. Overall I dont really stunt never had the urge to....I rather ride, and enjoy it other ways via long rides, twisties, & eventually hit up the track if win this months raffle :lol:....love to watch others though....
