Wheelie School, anyone done it?
http://www.iwanttowheelie.co.uk/index.html
Looks interesting, thinking about having a bash next summer, £5/week between now and then would cover it. just wondered if anyone had done it and thought it was good or pointless etc? Any opinions? |

Re: Wheelie School, anyone done it?
Uh oh.. You've may have just opened yourself up for a bit of grief there matey boy
; ) You'll learn ; ) Always nice to be able to do them though(I imagine). I could only do a couple of inches of the ground then crap myself. Same old answer from me, if in moderation and in the right place then crack on son. It's always nice to see a well done wheelie I don't care what the others say. Especially a long one through a gear or two, just not two up overtaking cars on a roundabout while getting your knee down P.S. Buy some spare head bearings

Re: Wheelie School, anyone done it?
There's a review of this school in the last Ride magazine. They reckon it's pretty good though the reviewer claims to have been the only person in the groop not to have wheelied it on the day

True enough, my skill isn't that great, I'm always tempted to try but don't wanna bin the thing, maybe when I've got some crash bungs I'd take the fairings off and give it a try. too scared of binning it on my first try heh. |

Re: Wheelie School, anyone done it?
Just keep them low to begin with, control the height with the rear brake at first and you will soon learn how to control them on the throttle.

I'd love to be able to wheelie my SV (used to wheelie my 100cc all the time when I was a lot younger) but too scared of flipping the SV etc. http://www.thewheelieschool.co.uk/index.htm |
