What is wrong with wanting to learn how to do wheelies? I posted that on my FB account and people were all over me to "not do it"...or think I will drop my bike, or break my arse! WTF? (most of these people don't ride at all)

So, I almost went up to a total stranger yesterday...he had a Kawi prolly a R6 or something..real beauty..and asked him if he knew how to do wheelies and if he could teach me, apparently watching youtube videos isn't professional enough? So what is? The local 20 year old who rides a sporty? They don't have learn how to do wheelie schools here....

    No problem with wanting to learn to wheelie.

    BUT: If you look at youtube, the guys who can do it make it look easy. And teh guys that can't make it look really sore and expensive and difficult. All I am saying is approach it VERY cautiously. Rather try it
    - at low speed
    - with full protective clothing,
    - on a bike that can take a fall (like a dirt bike) and wont kill your prurse.

    If you learn to do this in small steps, slowly building up confidence and "feel", thsi would probably be teh same way.

    But hopping on an expensive bike full of delicate parts that break off, revving it high and dumping teh clutch will probably end up in tears.

    The stunt guys use extra low gearing
    Easy to get the bike up & keep it there.
    Enjoy yourself !
