Yep, for all you anti wheelie noobs, I did another one today!

I did at least 100m, prob 150m, I'll measure it when I go back to work next..... It was a 2nd gear liftand powered into 3rd and held. Wasn't overly high, only about 2.5 feet- 3 feet high.
I had an audience too.......

The rush and the feeling of freedom and control, gotta love it.

Wait for it, I can feel it coming now........ the slander and bollocking from the doo-gooders....:Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Pu nk::Punk:

Travel about 300 mts on the back pegs with a lift at about 11 oclock then you can say you have done a wheelie....once again, im just an observer.

This was just a quick power blip on the driveway after work. Had a few observers so just popped her up and fed it some gas......
I like small ones, though longer ones would be cool if I had more space. I won't do em on the road.

Good on ya!

It's something on my todo list to learn. I've read a bit about the techniques.

There seems to be 2 schools of thought for learning:
1. Forget the clutch and bouncing suspension business. Roll on 1st gear wheelie. Focus on throttle control to maintain lift
2. 2nd gear, rev and dump the clutch wheelie. Makes for longer wheelies

I need to find a safe place and practice.....

Honestly, can anyone tell me what is wrong with a controlled wheelie in a safe place? Sure breaking the speed limit in town is a dangerous, more so in on one wheel. But out on the open road, no people about, no traffic, pulling a wheelie and holding it for a k or two puts no one else but me at risk.

A mate used to park in the yard at work and at the end of the day would pop a wheelie on the way out on his TL1000. Amused us all no end when he lost it and barrelled into the Coke machine. Result? Coke machine front totalled, TL1000 a few hundy in repairs, ego damaged beyond repair and the rest of us laughing hysterically. Ahhhhhhhh, the sweet taste of other people's humiliation..........

I don't know about you but I'm as safe on the back wheel in a straight line as I am on two wheels. I've wheelied the entire straight of Ruapuna, numerous times, at speeds over 200km/h and never fallen off. In fact I've never fallen off due to a wheelie. It's called control and involves the ability to read the road, your bike and the way it's acting. I've had wind catch me, the back go into a weave, the front crossed up, and I've always brought it down safely.

I don't do wheelie to impress others, I do them (when the time is right) because they feel great. I love being in communication with my bike, I like them to be 'talking' to me, moving around under me, giving me lots of feedback. I get that on the back wheel, the concentration required is another step up, the feedback becomes almost part of you. It's not for everyone, and not everyone does them for the same reasons. But if you are in control and acting with your brain and not your ego a wheelie need be no more dangerous than any other factor of motorcycle riding.

I love it that some are frugal and up tight. It helps me appreciate the fact that I own a bike that I can play and have fun with.
It's only a bike, and if it was written off, wooptie, its worth perhaps 10k to replace which is not a hell of a lot at anyrate.
I have learned to ride as a child, motorcross and dirt track and hundreds of hours of wheelies...... All these nupties that are anti wheelies must be sad boring individuals. I have no condemnation, but perhaps if they learned to ride they could learn some fun expressive tricks too.
There is nothing dangerous about doing wheelies, it's all a matter of balance and control of power and acceleration. If you can master the handling and feel of your bike you will be fine.
If your starting out, highly recommend having a go on a dirt bike on the grass. Its fun and exciting. It also helps learn control of your bike too.
I do gradual wheelies, usually just powering in on 2nd gear. My 1050 Speed Triple doesn't require slipping the clutch, the front wheel pops up with a simple casual rev. It's so light that it is easily up, and controlled. You just hold it on through the transition gearing up as you need.

I did a few stoppies, but I have to say it's not something I really seek to do to much, but the skill level to perform is very much a devotion.
I give homage to those who stoppie well, its impressive.

In regard to Katman, yes people have been injured stuffing up doing wheelies, some in dumb places, and inappropriate ego behaviour and intoxication.
Wheelies are an art form one needs to be skilled at. It's not a game, its something one needs to want to learn and do properly to minimse risk of incident, damage or harm.
There is danger in anything, from crossing the road, to bending over to pick up a bag of cement. One must calculate the risk, and ascertain whether they want to perform the task they are intending.
I don't live with regret, only the objective of looking forward and enjoying life. I don't take un nec risk I don't have to, however I do what I do do well, and thats what makes me happy.:yes:

And that is precisely the attitude that is causing the number of motorcycle accidents that we are represented by.

If people saw their bikes as something more than just a 'thing' that is easily replaced, perhaps they'd make more of an effort to keep it (and themselves) in one piece.

So where can one legally learn to wheelie? A private carpark with owner's permission or other private land (eg. farm)?

It's a pity we have 7 day a week shopping. I remember my dad and I taking the go kart down to Riccarton mall on a Sunday for some practice. Lovely big carpark it was (pre the mall extensions they made about 15 years ago).

I use private land to practice. I used to have a customer with a private runway 250m long which was handy, sadly I lost contact and he moved.
I practice on some rural driveways, but they are not that long. Some dairy farmers have nice firm lime runoff tracks, I have had fun on those in summer.
Carparks have there legality issues, so to does any other workplace if their is an accident.
I think I play it safe and use mostly places where I have asked. Most are accommodating as long as you aren't doing damage or being a nuisance. Just ask around when you see a place that looks good.
There was a huge factory where silvia park is now where we used to go on weekends for playing. It was at least 300m long and heaps of room. Must be some of those around still. (Obviously not at Sylvia Park but lol)

Hell i know a guy that isl able to indicate, and steer through traffic while wheelieing. he has crashed MANY times, but not one was because of a wheelie.

people like you that post like that in every thread about anything fun are why KB is so full of limp wristed poofs now.
Keep it up! There is nothing more satisfying than having to put the wheel down because the oil light has come on!

starting off from traffic lights is the good place to practice, that or 3rd gear on the motorway, less throttle controll is needed in the higher gears.
Allways cover your rear break, slam that if it goes pear shaped and 999/999.1 times you will be sweet, even when you accidentally wheelie into unmarked roadworks at 80MPH

Exactly... It took me a couple of years to do a decent wheelie but I never tried to 12 o clock it straight away, started small and learnt the bike and what it could do and just practise and before you know it you'll be passing people on the back straight at Taupo on the back wheel standing up at 200kph... Sigh unfortunately that freedom has been taken away at track days..................

That's not good advice. Slamming the rear break would cause an uncontrollable bounce plus faaark the forks. They'll only let you get away with that a few times before collapsing. Smooth control is what is required. I'd question the 999/999.1. I'd say it's more like 5/1, just take a look on YouTube as to what often goes wrong.

I have done 2 wheelies in my life - both out of control and way scary!

One on a dirt bike at a Greg Powers training day - I demonstrated the correct way to fall off an out of control bike apparently.
The other time through a roundabout on a GN250, I was dithering and had a "will I, won't I" moment and gave it heaps and popped a wheelie.

Both times I looked like a dick and it is something I wouldn't attempt ever again, but I am sure it gave the spectators a good laugh.

For every member of the public who sees a wheelie and says "Fuck yeah, look how cool he looks" there's probably 100 who would say "Fuck yeah, they get all they deserve".

Time and place for sure...but fuck them man. I don't ride a bike to conform, never have. Live a little. Do you think Rossi, Lorenzo etc are dicks for pulling wheelies when they win a race?

They're expressing themselves is all. Nothing wrong with it...as long as it's a safe time/place.

Well you certainly have invested a lot of time defending the fact that you are the king of the wheelie Mr Rogue, most people know what that means.

I could never claim to be a Wheelie King, god, or master. I do like to give it a wurl. I do some mean ones, but I also do the odd lamo one too. I see the guys around that do perfect ones everytime, that is a real skill and very cool, in my opinion though odf coarse.

I would be interested to know some of the best bikes for Wheelies, I have to say the Speed Triple 1050 is by far the easiest I have had. (SV1000s K3, TL, GSXR600, HD Fatboy, FXDX Dyna Superglide, M109r, Rocket 111, and VZ800.) others as well, but too boring to list.

Go And find a long uphill

And practice sitting in ya chair on the hind legs of it on balance point. It's the same feeling through the seat of a bike. Most wheelies get fucked up as the rider is too scared of getting it to the true balance point. They feel like they're gonna go over the back...when in actual fact, they're not even on the balance point yet. So when the front comes down...they give it a huge handful to get it back up and go right over!

When you get 'em right up on the balance point...you can keep 'em going with just a nice gentle constant throttle input and go for as far as you want. Notice the true wheelie masters are real smooth and not at all jerky like the noobs are. THAT is the key.

It's interesting you say that, I recall a cpl years back a buddy of mine with an early Busa was riding and he did a wheelie over a hump that was on a curve. It looked so nimble and smooth for such a tank of a bike. He proved to me that day that those bikes are a gracious beast tamed easily by the master controller.

Impressed. Has anyone been able to do those turning curved wheelies, whatever you call them. Turning and wheelieing on a lean looks so awesome.
Done it heaps on trail bikes with finesse, not so though on road bikes.

This is why Xtreme sports, MotoX, and Super cross exist, not to mention sports like track racing, and heaven forbid the Isle of Man......

Sorry to dissapoint, this isn't an ego post, its a motorcycle forum, where motorcyclists discuss the things that interest and motivate them.
We are all well aware of the risks of riding, though we choose to ride to enjoy what time we have. Some choose to go out in a blaze of glory, thats their choice not yours. Perhaps you would be better off in a retirement village in the round room where nothing can harm you.
I have had more friends die of a bee stings and cage crashes than wheelies.

I prescribe a teaspoon of cement twice daily for a week so you can harden up a bit.

AllanB
30th August 2010, 22:05
There is danger in anything, to bending over to pick up a bag of cement. One must calculate the risk, and ascertain whether they want to perform the task they are intending.

I always check for homos prior to bending over - you just can't trust them and often they look like normal men.

Play it safe - upgrade your Gaydar.

Especially if you like wheelies - in the event you fall off doing one, they could pounce on you while you lie face down on the ground.

I love being in communication with my bike, I like them to be 'talking' to me, moving around under me, giving me lots of feedback. I get that on the back wheel, the concentration required is another step up, the feedback becomes almost part of you. It's not for everyone, and not everyone does them for the same reasons. But if you are in control and acting with your brain and not your ego a wheelie need be no more dangerous than any other factor of motorcycle riding.
Very true. The skills required and the finesse demanded by the bike, has to lift a rider's skill set.
Not saying that everyone should do, or start doing, them though.

A question for Katman, my stats are way more non-wheelie related crashes than wheelie related ones (1) so.....does this mean I should wheelie more?

Yes... yes you should Death.

I was the same. Raced BMX, wheelied ok, took up flat land and a little ramp and got pretty good. Grew up, took up MTBs, got even better, then hit the MX and SX racing circuit and Wheelies over whoops, no probs, but long ones?? I sucked for some reason!
Now on the road bike, 1.2 km is considered a good wheelie on the way to work each morning. Love to go back to an MX bike and see if i have improved!

... my dirtbike wheelies weren't all that great,

Was pretty crap on my KX125. Not sure if it was the suspention travel of the fact that it was a 2 Stroke. The SV as easy to get up but required good throttle control to overt hard put downs. The Gixxer is easy once its up, but getting the right amount of rpm for the clutch popping is something I need to work on.

I bloused out and took the 675 instead, then repaid their kindness by standup wheelying it straight past the Northern Queensland Central Police Station!

So where can one legally learn to wheelie? A private carpark with owner's permission or other private land (eg. farm)?

It's a pity we have 7 day a week shopping. I remember my dad and I taking the go kart down to Riccarton mall on a Sunday for some practice. Lovely big carpark it was (pre the mall extensions they made about 15 years ago).

I kind of agree with this, when everyone is moving along pretty quickly having someone pull a stoppy or slamming the back brake to correct a too hi front end in front of you would be disastrous.

Reckon they should designate the skid pan at Hamptondowns a free wheelie zone for those who want to practice their art. :Punk:

Anyways, keep it up

Very rarely use the clutch on downshifts on the open road or track, just a correctly timed blip and a small amount of pressure on the gear lever is enough to ensure a smooth downchange. Been doing it for 30,000km on this bike and the gearbox is still as sweet as ever, despite all opinions to the contrary.

Mine doesn't want to pull up in 2nd gear without the clutch, but it does easily in 1st gear without clutching it. I really don't want to start clutching it because I can see that turning nasty very quickly. It does lift up slightly in 2nd gear without the clutch though.

Clutching it, is where it's at.

Trust those that can do it, and ignore those who can't that say you're more likely to flip, or wear out your clutch.

Yup, wot he said. I clutch My shit up in first even, even tho you don't need to. I gets it up faster and under more control.

I'll take things 1 step at a time. I've seen far too many wheelie fail videos on Youtube to try and be a hero.

Good attitude.
The best advice I can give is never panic and lift your feet off the pegs. It can never be said enough. As soon as you do you're over backwards. If you keep your feet on there it'll hit the ground with the tail and stop you going over. Look at all those youtube vids again....

What he said ^^^

Very rarely does a bike go over backwards. They fall over sideways once the rider starts giving up on things and lets go with feet then hands. Or in the case of my last crash, even when the rider hasn't given up, but the bike is too far off to one side to be recovered. But don't worry, you need to be going quite slow (less the 20kph) before that is a likely outcome.

Is it a good idea to learn wheelies on a push bike before I try to do them on a motorbike? A mate of mine said that a push bike is a good way to find your balance point without risking serious injury or damage to anything.

Different skill sets. Think Death_inc has told of a guy he knows who can wheelie a pushbike all day long, but can't wheelie a motorcycle to save himself.

Buy a old xl farmbike for next to nothing and practice slow high wheelies until you can change gears in the wheelie.

Chris - Video your wheelies. You'll learn so much more from that than most other things.

Na, like I've said before, trailies only teach you to wheelie a trailie. Same with pushies....nowadays I can't wheelie a pushbike more than about 20 ft....
Practice is what does it. Wheelie every chance you get. Practice pulling it up and putting it down again, don't try to hold it. Feel how high it comes up. Go a bit higher each time, but only while it feels controlled. You'll get to the point where you don't have to 'hold' it up with the throttle. Again, just get used to it, don't push too hard. The rest will come on it's own. If you're having a shit day leave it alone. You don't learn anything lying on the ground.

driftn on here. Little cunt can wheelie a mountain bike to a standstill, then move off again smooth as silk. All with the front wheel vertical and giving you the fingers while doing it. Motorsickle wheelies are laughable though.

Personally I think while you're learning, stick with sitting. Standing has it's advantages for sure, but I found it more stable sitting. When you stand the effect of moving around is more pronounced, good when you're good, but unsettling when you're not.

well i almost joined the epic fail club of wheelie attempts yesterday.
wrong place, wrong time, God I don't learn (even after reading and reading these exact quotes from peoples...)
anyways, only 1 month owning my 2nd bike, Street Triple, been reading/watching vids on how to op em.
so my driveway is pretty incline in itself so i figured just get it a little whislst leaving house towards a busy road.
pop'd her up, sweet, not to high, then hit a flat part of the road (leveled out) and my bike seemed to pop up even higher then my wrist pulled the throttle more.....
at this point everything is a blur, wtflip do i do, grab the front brakes HAHAHA (it was fairly early in the morning guys)
anways, loosing time to get her grounded before i hit the main road.
the handle bars/front end rattle like a mofo and i just learn forward hard and shut off acceleration.
front comes down little to hard that i would of liked, but shesh, im alive and bike still mint condition.

so yes, learn from my mistake, find not a thing around that could be a danger, remember hills makes it a lot easier (depending on inlcine)
will i stop trying all together, heck no, will master the wheelie in due time, no rush though

There's something inherently disturbing about people who have to do their masturbating in public.
Captain irony to the rescue!!!

(you're never far away are you Steve lol)





Honestly, can anyone tell me what is wrong with a controlled wheelie in a safe place? Sure breaking the speed limit in town is a dangerous, more so in on one wheel. But out on the open road, no people about, no traffic, pulling a wheelie and holding it for a k or two puts no one else but me at risk.
But but Katman & the gubbermint say it's WRONG!!!



Sure, but its also that attitude that means we now pay $500+ a year to license our bikes.
So by your own admission it's now ok cause we pay for it in advance..........super, thanks for clarifying that :laugh:

Broke both wrists. Never did tell us how he wiped his arse, or why he moved back to his mothers house for the healing process, but I think there's a correlation.

I was doing 180+ when he did it directly behind me.....so he wasn't far off. I remember looking in the mirror to see the bottom of the TL and a shitload of sparks. The lesson was don't wheelie over a blind crest on a road you don't know...that particular one dropped off just over the top. Sitting in the ditch afterwards he said 'I was wondering why you didn't do one'.
That little episode was really how I got to know him so well, rebuilding the TL in my shed over the next few weeks....
Oh yeh, it was the first ride He went on with his then new boss :laugh:
