How much fun are wheelies

[dangerous]

Pulled one on the 12 once @ 250,still accelerating,but I wimped out and put it down.......

But man, how the hell do ya do it? I mean like at those speeds..... shit Ive spent a few hours on a mates Bussa and yeah it dosent take much at lower speeds and I've twisted the throtle to full noise and unless theres a bump in the rd to help with the lifting I'm buggered if I know how ya get it up at that speed hell the fairings are desined to hold em down too.

Big F*&king balls would be the answer

You think that is ballsy, you should see him doing wheelies in 40kmh crosswinds with torrential rain

And I can't even make the front end of my CBR a little bit lighter

Yep, that looks fuken insane man. From all the wheelies I have seen in my life, Death does the meanest wheelies IMO. It'd be real cool to see him take up stunt riding as a dedicated sport with an actual stunt bike.

Sorry,maybe i shoulda explained better......
The 12 would come up up to about 180k,then you just hook third and wind her up ect,ect(not actually pull it up at 250......sorry).If you kept the front up enough and kept changing gears I guess a 300k wheelie isn't out of the question
Remember too,the 12 was easier than the busa,different weight distribution-shorter/taller too.

Hey D/INC . Thought it was going to be another post like the one with a CBR250RR pulling 180k mono's . I know from reading your's & oher people's post & the talk we had that this would not be the case .Flipped my YZ490 at 160k down a back road once ,took 10 month's to grow my skin back etc > so take it easy my friend , Ps love the new GSXR1000

Can't be too hard, I've had the front wheel of the MZ and the CB125 off the deck (by accident)....

Do plenty up to 200 though.....
The bonnie should be a goer,some of the shit bikes I've pulled 'em on;VF 750 sabre,vfr750,Triumph750daytona,XJ550,GN250,VFR400n c21,and even a DF125....

That reminds me. Quite a few years back, when I was still a groomer at WMCC, Robert Holden came in for a chat. Climbs on the shop GN I'd just washed and wheelies it from a standstill, all the way up the drive way at not much more than a walking pace. Stops, turns around and wheelies it back down.

He climbs of the thing, hands over the keys and sez "Thats gutless for a 250." Ummmm Robert, it's a 125.

How long have ya been there for now?

[White trash]

I've worked there three times now. Started grooming. Left. Back in spares. Got fired. Now sales which I've been doing for two and a half years, the longest I've ever stuck with one job.

You're still not the groomer?????

I believe the industry's technical term is 'fluffer'.

i have lost my licence many a time and paid a small fortune out in fines(probly enough to buy a new o4 R1) but at this point in my life im not willing to stop riding i dont like bussing and the copperz cars are so slow, i have put serious thought into ditching the plate painting the bike black and F@$k the law all together

And some people never learn. Why don't you go racing? I was in Wanganui in the weekend and saw many wheelies. Some were just sheer power and lifting the front end several inches as riders were trying to gain the best drive out of corners etc and others were more intended.
As for an audience ------ HUGE. You can throw away your number plate and pull big ass wheelies and stoppies all day in front of thousands who will appreciate your skills, rather than pedestrians thinking "there is another compensator" (for small dick)
