Thanks to Ness and Etiene (spelling please?!) for taking all the pics! I’m sure the air under my front tyre in that pic was photoshopped, so thanks for that
Damn !!! Wish my bike was ready to go…im missing out on all this stuff !! You all looked like you had a blast and poor ol Rizla, she looks cold! awwww…hope you made it up to her Fridayman?..really good pics of what looks like a real fun time for you all, and imformative too!
So come on Shewolf, when ya gonna do ya wheelies outside the Ace?..shall i come over sunday to see you do em?..anyway, well done you! The only times i do a wheelie, is when im pulling away from the lights, and i dont MEAN to do em??? Frighten the whatevers out of me as im tugging front wheel back onto ground again!! Dont ask me how i do em…they just go! (yeh i know…im giving it large with the throttle!) ha ha…
I gather the wheelies got higher later in the day ? I can’t wheelie but I can get the front up a little, see pic below of my lame attempt… I need wheelie school… badly !.. Jimmy Fireblade is a bit far away though, might do The Wheelie School but they only do Mon - Fri…
i wouldnt worry about finding the balance point, just Concentrate on getting it higher and higher each time.
The higher you get the front wheel the less you acelerate the longer the wheelie…
A basic indication that your somewhere near is you cant see anything but yokes and the filler cap on the tank, you will have to look around the side of the bike to see where your going… or stand up.
Just rember… do it bit by bit or you end up on your bumm…
Id also stick in 1 gear for a bit maybe try clicking second but to be honest if you just started wheelies and your need 3rd gear you A doing somthing wrong and B will prolly bin it at 120mph…
