So, can you do a wheelie?

[Waihou Thumper]

Thinking of you Andy :) How about this for effort! AND it is on a Husaberg...:) Not only do I get one wheel up, I get two, usually I am looking at them from below...:) After I have come a cropper..:)

that bloke is too good at wheeling....almost takes the fun out of it. besides everyone knows one lampost is universially acepted as the benchmark for showing off :facepalm: anything more than that is just not right :angry: ok so i'm jellous.... get over it

[Padmei]

Funnily enough my next personal challenge is to successfully do a 2nd to 3rd gear wheelie. been reading up on it & everything. There's a good DRZ how to vid on Youtube where he runs you thru it ...

I'm gonna be a wheelstanding God....



or very very sore...:facepalm:

[warewolf]

I'm absolutely lousy at wheelies. One of the challenges with the 640A is that with a near full tank it's difficult to loft, then with a near empty tank it just about flips in comparison. It's one of those things I need to work on.

There is a big "wheelie your LC4" thread on advrider.

Now that's just showing off. Wheelies are neither cool or clever!!:shutup:

Now that's just showing off. Wheelies are neither cool or clever!!:shutup:A mate of mine sent a vid of himself doing a wheelie as part of his job application. It was down the front straight at Ruapuna, and he waved at the camera as he went by on one wheel. Yes, the job was at a motorcycle shop, and yes, he got the job. :D

Guy at the Cold Kiwi was pretty impressive. I don't recognise the KTM though. Must be some rare obscure model.

Yip Karl was a legend at wheelies and the Hill Climb on the General Lee ....

[riffer]

I wonder what he's done to that bike to stop the motor starving of oil.

I'd found this thread interesting http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=551346

Nice, but wheelies on dirt bikes don't count. Anyones grandma can do that.
I've siezed an engine on my dirt bike doing a 'sustained' wheelie. Oil starvation tends to do that.
That was easy. being towed home behind another bike was the challenge.

[pampa]

found some doing panic-wheelie

The problem with this bike is not doing a wheelie is avoiding it

it even tries to fly

Now thats the coolest vid ever. Man do those mofos have taste or wot???

I am crap at wheelies too, yea i can lift it up to clear an obstacle (have to on a klr cos of crap front end) but thats about it. Flipped way too many times as a youngin trying to copy a mate who could wheelie his TT600 as far as he wanted.(bastard)

[george formby]

With the research I've been doing a lot of guys recommend not trying to start doing them in 1st gear but rolling on in 2nd as there is less chance of looping. As far as covering the rear brake - when my front wheel goes up I lose feeling to everything below shoulder level - including bowels:shit:

Why does your bike have a grudge with your oven? Bet it doesn't go down well with the Mrs when they start fighting in the kitchen

He is my attempt to being a hooligan, 1st through to 5th before the corner got too close.
