Wheelies rule!

I think you'll find he also types one handed on keyboards

I can type with most of my right hand on KB's, but on the iPad it's a best a two finger deal.

I presume you're talking about this one...

That's one of my favourites, from a display I did for a V8 Ute series I did at Ruapuna. This one, albeit from a distance, looks good too.

Nothing impressive i know, but they have got better. Oh the big smokie at the start had a landing speed in excess of 200km/h. 244 indicated actually. And these were filmed on a private road.

Absolutely amazing Mate. I take my hat off to you. That's the stuff of legends. Can't inmagine how hard that must be with one arm and the nerves and control required.
Why aren't you in the paralympics wining gold for stunting

I finally managed to start popping wheelies on the GSXR today. I can't hold them up, but with a lot of throttle and a tug on the handle bars it pops up nicely in 1st gear.

lots of revs and drop the clutch an ya will be sorted.. oh yeah and lean back and give it a big tug.. ;-P

[rossirep]

I does. I thought this had been removed from youtube, but found it the other night. I was just learning wheelies when we made this video. Yup, learning wheelies with one arm on a thou.

SRADS are the best wheelie bikes ever. 2nd gear is where it's at, you can wheelie for miles in second....

Roger that

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.

[SMOKEU]

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....

[Drew]

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.
