Want to wheelie?
Be gentle please....I'm aware that the W word evokes both negative and positive vibes......
I just wondered...of you avid trackdayers..... If there was an 'arena' at your trackdays, where for a few shekels, in between your sessions you could nip over on your bike, or spare/road bike, or use a provided bike and practice your wheelies, with or without tuition, in an organised, marshalled, legal way... What would you say ? |

Re: Want to wheelie?
There is a wheelie school that is run not far from me. A days course for £170. I'm planning on doing this, this summer.
(slight derail from your original question). |

Re: Want to wheelie?
Nope there is no where to mess about on your bike at a trackday.....wheelie on the track and you will be removed......wheelie in the pit/paddock and you will be removed.
Find a nice quite industrial estate at night

Re: Want to wheelie?
(can?) feck(s) your head bearings, chain, front wheel, suspension.
I still fancy a pop though.

spend the afternoon at any supermoto trackday, wheelies not only allowed, in all likelyhood encouraged and expected
