I pulled my first wheelie woohoo!

**jeremysprite** · 7th September 2005, 21:35

decided to go down to warehouse carpark today after work and practice wheelies on my fxr. twas great! the longest i stayed up was about 1.5 seconds, i kept pulling the clutch back in or hitting the foot brake when i went sky high cause i was scared! I pulled the best one, got the wheel about 2feet (i think) off teh ground, i was bailing cause someone was looking out the warehouse window at me (scared they might call the cops). thought everyone had left...

Can you do a stoppie? My wheelies are pretty timid but I can get the rear about a metre of the ground now for a stoppie

getting the front wheel off the ground from the line isnt a problem (well, wasnt on the old bike), its as you're going along and pull it up... i guess you pull back on the handle bars and give it a little juice and away you go??
