    How to do a wheelie?

    Easy enough on my 2 stroke dirt bike, just give a handful and up she comes but...what's the secret to popping the wheel on a hyper street bike , simple as popping the clutch , same thing bigger bike ? Wanna give my shiny black girl some front wheel air time ...if only but once.

    Yup. Search youtube for some good tutorials.

    "I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
    "Wow, Great advise there DB."

    Have'nt had the pleasure Usarka yet, one day.

    Short wheelbase, lots of grunt and the grin factor must be great !

    Still, 'Busa has a similar effect

    Pull the cord, start motor ...eyeball the lawn, drop the clutch and start mowing !

    Just watch the front rollers don't leave the ground and remember to empty the catcher......who needs a sports bike when Briggs and Stratton are on hand ....

    A classmate at school started off his biking like that. His brother's instructions for his first ever motorbike ride were similar:
    "Now - twist the throttle till that needle there is on that red bit there."
    Let the clutch out."

    Fence? - Dave.
    Dave? - Fence.

    You'd have to wonder how someone could do that to his own bike.
    Oh - and his own brother.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    With some practice, getting the front wheel up is pretty easy on any bike... obviously power helps, but it's keeping it up that's bloody hard
