Wheelie Bin Statistics

[Babelfish]

I've never rated going mono highly enough to start solid practice, but thinking about it, or moreso the possible ramifications to my arse in failure, I pondered who of the wheelie kings and queens on this site has binned during their efforts.

If you add to the poll, it'd be good to read your experiences also.

Here's my wheelie bin thus far:

where's the option of wheelie by accident?

[blacksheep]

p.s have you got your front susp sorted yet?

[Toaster]

I confess!!! I have done a wheelie or two and survived.... had a tank slapper once when gunning it from a standing start... and cost me 8 weeks of injury time + surgery from shattering the bones in my right big toe... didn't fall off, just kicked the road at speed splitting the bone in half and crushing the top bone.

Well, if you can afford to risk wrecking ya bike and possibly your body, then go for it and wheelie like mad dude! Pays not to do it in front of the 5-0 either - they call it an unnesessary display of stupidity for which it is bye bye licence!

I'd rather just keep both my wheels on the ground nowdays.

wheelies are over rated, i don't do them

[SARGE]

get an FJ1200, a Blackbird or a ZZR1100 up mono.. THEN come talk to me :innocent:

[RC1]

can do them but not a master at all , but i dont think it makes you a better motorcylsist does it ??

[Pumba]

Ive done them, my biggest ones have been no intentional and out of control, but with skills:shit: (read increadly good luck) like mine I have never binned.

Would love to do them with full control and confidence, but I really cant afford to bin my bike

i.ve always enjoyed wheelies, one of the best things i like about riding. been on 2 wheels for over 11 yrs now and never had a crash due to a wheelstand.
longest distance mono just over 900mtrs, higest speed mono 235kph.
I think i'm ok at it but i've see others way better than me. like the guy at big boys toys... what a ledgend!
then theres the down side, best to do this off public roads or you too could be like me, no riding for 3 months because of this behaviour...
the price we pay.

With an avator like that?

Wheelies are neither big nor clever

[Buster]

V Twins suck at wheelies. (cough) "bullshit" (cough) :Punk:

Only intentional wheelies are allowed. Unfortunatly, the best wheelie I ever did was unintentional, and I think there is still a volcano on the seat from then on. As to front sussies, not yet. Riding it too much. I'm even getting used to one of the snatchiest throttles I've felt....cue power commander investigation.

Nope, just a something to have a laugh with

I don't intentionally try and do wheelies on any bike, but yes, the B/B is a piece of cake. I'd had the bike about 2 weeks and tried a quick getaway from the Cobham Drive/hospital turn lights on SH1 in Hamilton. She came up big time and my mate following me literally nearly fell off because he was laughing so much.

[mikey]

i have a few on the go, and many over the years

a bobs bin in blue
two waste management ones in dark green
some unmarked lilac coloured shit.

by rotating them, they driver does not notice as quickly and less likely to takethe bin away, emptying it for free.

Havent voted on the poll but I love doin wheelies.. been doin them on every bike ive owned so far... couple of forks been bent in the bargain but I love it.... I recently got let off for it (told him it was unintentional and when it went up i didnt want to bang her down n tank slap all ova the place, he bought it)... I do mine mostly on 1st and occasionally on 2nd but never more than 130 kmph... thats when i run out of juice on 1st n put her down... need an ohlins as I still tank slap sumtimes on the landing while accelerating. I know a few on kb who are damn fukin good at them..

Lone Ranger that dude was awesome aye ! I was there too last yr !

Now at the age of 34 i think I'm growing out of them
use to wheelie my fizzer and blade every where , and a little on the bus but after having a verry close call a couple years ago ive knocked them on the head , but crank one out there every nown and then on the Ten just to let the guy i still have it in me, (you look like a complet cock if you stuff one up ) and the pc dont like the to much as i found, once when i did one right in front of him . not knowing he was there, (Careless use of a motor vehical)
