Jesus wept. You weren't joking about the music, were you?

thier easy .....when ye know how,, i read all the posts... o guys reving it to 9k revs anletting go o the clutch...Watch out... ye only need 3/4 thou revs.. an when itrises...blip the throttle... its easy said,, but harder to do it.... when ye kin Float...come back tae me......cheers.

Whats better, loooong wheelie or knee down action?
LOOOOONG wheelies is ma Thing... especialy when ye get tae the "Floating" stage,, then ye kin relax an enjoy yersel.....ive blew up an roasted two Dommie engines... ave wheelied jist about everything ave been on... broke ma shoulder, once.. practising an flipping... another time nearly cut ma left foot off.. flipped it..an aul xl 500...

The xl 500 is the best bike ever tae learn wheelies.. if ye dont know whit yer doin,, watch out.. a sv is a good bike tae wheelie an be in control .. but yer better learnin on an aul trailbike...

I remember around 6/7 years ago.. me an ma mate where doin 1st gear off the throttle wheelies burnin out in 1st gear an thinkin we wir wheelie kings.......that was so long ago

I now without boasting can do wheelies, an go up the box.. dae 2nd... 1st is too fierce... if yer learning take it easy.. an try an keep that back brake covered... the first thing ye do when its too high is go offthe throttle.. tae bring it back down.. but the best way is the rear brake... but it doesnt always work out like that...dont think ye`l do them over nite.. as me an two pals practised 2/3 nites a week all summer a couple o years ago.. its paid off now..

I like an odd wheelie, an some time tae show off... especialy comming off a roundabout...if ye do it right ye can go around bends... . hers a guy goin a bit low ..dont know about about knee down.. but his handlebars are touchin the ground.. an the link is good... tae get tae this stage, ye need a LOT o practise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqk3Cy8WrWo

After seein the profesionals do it, i know i aint got any chance of bein this good.

The higher and further back your centre of gravity is, the happier the bike will be to rotate around the rear wheel, hence trail bikes, or a pillion, or standing on the rear pegs, will make wheelies much easier. If you throw a hammer, which end goes first?

how big is the hammer... and are ye throwin it wi yer left hand or yer right..

Jist tae clarify the wheelie scenario// i heard guys sayin rev it to 9k revs,, then let the clutch out...NAAAAAAAA. dont do that.

What ye kin do to start with is,, roll on an offthe throttle but only in first gear.. giving it a good handful when yer rollin on,, then ye see yer front comming up.. a think when ye master that, ye`l feel better about ..half clutchin in second gear wi a handfu....

if ye had to rev the thing to 9k revs then let the clutch go.. a think it wid throw ye aff the back,, an ye kin watch yer bike soemersault down the road... Believe me when I say this..

a long while ago when i had a honda xl250... it was 83.. i was 24... I could wheelie for as long as the day,but i was sitting on the very back o the seat, wi ma feet hangin inches off the ground,, i remember doin this in front o a couple o burds.. an yes it happened.. I slipped right off the back an the bike dragged me.. i had on a brand new pair o Ashmans the ones wi the red white an blue stripes up the front,, wi ma fisherman socks turned over the top o them... they were two days old, £84 they were.... the wore the toe right thru on the two boots right thru the blue plastic...an also right thru the kees o ma jeans tae the very bone.. ye kin imagine it eh... me hangin on fur grim death, an the number plate all bent up at the back, the inside o ma arms are gettin road rash as well.....

another time I was a KE 125,, i said tae the guy kin ye do a wheelie,, he says aye a wee bit,, wait an al show ye.... again it flipped,, an I let it go,, it bounced off a few cars parked on each side o the road.......

master the roll on Roll off first.. then ye kin go fur the half clutchin in second gear... what yew do is go around 25/35 mph... in second gear... roll off the throttle an in the same time ye give it a handfu as ye blirb the throttle to say around the 5/6 thousand revs,, ye let go of the half clutch, an when it rises, ye MUST blirp the throttle to get some height on it, then if yer lucky enough to get it all the way up to the balance point which is Called Floating in the wheelie talk... click it in to 3rd gear without the clutch as ye blirp the throttle...if you manage this,, you will instantly feel much more relaxed an feel ye could ride all day... not only that ye`l feel like Doug Domokus the Wheelie King.. dae ye`s think i got here with out learning it....

but if yer prepared to try it...be also prepared to come off it...If ye can KEEP THE REAR BRAKE COVERED.... and the best way too loearn is on a slight upwards hill... not too much of a hill... you will get it up wi practise.. Enjoy

I can't read your posts anymore, takes too much effort
