A legitimate wheelie, like 100 yards or whatever with 90% consistency? fast or slow doesn't matter, just a wheelie where you are actually in control of it. I cannot figure it out, I am just wondering how common good wheelie riders are. I created a poll so you could vote anonymously the truth, then you can leave in the comments how good you are at wheelies, even if your not.
Poll
You would really think that after 20 years on a bike I would of gotten it down, but no such luck
The Shop
Dirtbikes a little trickier on grass/dirt. Never got into it on the street. Looped more than a few times trying to get them down on the 125...
I don't know what all the fuss is about.
I can't wheelie
EDIT: Wait, yes I have! In 1986 I looped my buddy's IT175 while trying to ride a wheelie. That was the most recent time.
Ask me to do it in a field or something and I can barely get the front wheel off the ground for more than a few feet lol.
Pit Row
These days, if I wheelie coming out of a corner on a moto track, I chop the throttle, load up and go home.
Times have changed
A- No one is on here berating other people for not being able to wheelie and
B- Ive always felt embarrassed that I can't wheelie more than 10 feet and thought everyone else could. Any time I've gotten to the "balance" point I usually pussy out of it and tap the brake.
The front brake is the only brake that should be used while doing wheelies. Think about it.......
One-wheeler? Yes.
Maybe 20m with my 450 without control.
And im a ”pro” rider...
The event happens at Thanksgiving and we have awoke to FROZEN fountains at the Hotel in Barstow for Day 2 as we head out!
So yea w/o electric hand warmers that some riders have my "CUSTOM" handguards keep my paws from being frozen and going numb....
From a different yr...
I pretty much do 2nd gear wheelies popping the clutch and just use power instead of skills or balance
Sitting down? No
