Can't make puke....and the back straight isn't long enough anyway ......

My mate in aussie usta wheelie his ZZR 250,bit outta control,he usta sit at the lights,rev limiter it and dump the clutch from a standstill .

[Big Dog]

No it really doesnt the clutch jus shits itself as ya have to give it about 15k revs to even jus slightly jump it up and thats like an inch off the ground its a 4cylinder so the torque aint there for low rev wheelies otherwise id be doin em plus the bike is quite a heavy bitch for a 250!

Try leaning back a bit / pulling on the bars, My ole Gpx used to pull its own wheelies as you crossed the 10k mark unless you were flat accross the tank. Or you could go real crazy and step up onto your pillion pegs until you get it up!

In theory any thing can be wheelied, its just how hard you try. I hate them myself to many 100Kmph plus near bins.

As stated earlier in the thread to me the skill is not in getting it up it is in keeping it up without needing to visit a panel shop.

Well today while i was delivering mail, i couldnt help but practice wheelies (on the extremely quiet roads, roads where i have been delvering too for months and only ever seen a handful of cars) i was getting it a good 2-3 feet off the ground but still need to do some more practice to find the balance point..... will get some foto's when profecient at them on the CT hehehe

Show me a man who can get it up 2 feet and I will show you a happy woman, show me a man who can't keep it up over 2 mins and I will show you a dissatisfied woman

[MadDuck]

now now BD thats a tad cynical I say

If someone wants to show me how I will give it a go on the VTR. Damn if not I will find a desserted carpark and give it a whirl...just have to make sure no hanging around

Is a carpark technically LTSA zoned tho?? Would they not need a complaint from the company who owned the car park or the security agency that managed it?

I believe it is not due to the fact it is on private property, the only thing that can be done is you can be removed from the property....... Another reason why you find a deserted carpark......

[MadDuck]

LTSA bah humbug. Carpark of private property is outside their jurisdiction (oh and putside OSH). Up here I think I would get away with it as long as I inform the neighbours. A six pack goes a long way to cooling the natives

A carpark is still technically a road under the Land Transport Act. I haven't read this thread completly so I might have missed the context of what is being said but just thought I'd mention this.

The thread started when I posted a photo of myself wheelieing the FXR in a carpark (now my avatar). There's been a bit of to-and-fro-ing about the naughtiness of wheelieing on the road in past threads.

Actually, Spud, you might know... would the trafficos use the 'sustained loss of traction' law to confiscate a bike wheelieing on the road? Given that the front wheel isn't getting much traction, being three or four feet off the ground. Or does it have to be the driving wheels that lose traction? What would the likely charges be? 'Dangerous'? 'Reckless'?

Oh no, now I have that song in my head.

[Indiana_Jones]

Just in case any of you thought WT and I were bullshitting when we claimed that the FXR wheelied well

I'M NOT WORTHY!

TEACH OBI-WON THE WAYS OF FXR'S !!!!!

I can prolly take this one.....Last I knew it is dangerous driving,and yes you can get instant disqualification for 28 days then court and lose yer bike for the same......best just run (not that I'm advising this.....)
On the up side,cheers to the copper that looked the other way when I was doing a standup up the passing lane at Meremere the other day ,there are still some good one's out there
