You know when you see guys on the tv that do really long wheelies so that by the time the front wheel lands it has actually stopped moving and as it hits you get that little screech and puff of smoke from the front tyre. :?:

I did that today. :lol:

2nd gear wheelie from start to finish. :thumbsup:

so... does the bike get less stable as the wheel stops spinning?

Or rather, I suppose the bike does get less stable, but can you actually notice it?

More importantly, were there young ladies about that were impressed?
I knew a guy that could do a wheelie, land it, and instantly pull a stoppie as soon as the front wheel touched down.

(On a 125. Ahem.)

Still cool though.

Can't say as I noticed if anyone was watching or not. Just made sure there was nothing that I was going to hit should it go wrong and went for it.

It did start to drift at one point but a shift in body weight soon brought it back straight. :wink:

I've done a rolling burn out straight into a wheelie before, but this was by accident.

I tried to do a wheelie away from a cafe but the ground was rather damp and the rear wheel span instead. Rather than cutting the throttle and looking like I didn't know what I was doing, I just kept the throttle open.

Wheel was spinning for a good 5 feet before traction took over and immediately the front came up. Couldn't replicate that if I tried a million times.

End result was it looked even cooler than I had intended it too. :lol:

That could just be random cause it was a long wheelie. You will have to be a good scientist and do 20 more of them to increase you test set size to check this.

*cough*nutter*cough* :lol:

I'd rather not. Firstly I class that as tempting fate. As some know on here my fate is not always good to me. Secondly, I don't want to break my bike. :wink:

Yes, I have heard this before. :? Don't get it myself. :lol:

I shall have to consult with Dr Rich then I suppose.

Was it not something like that that led to you wheelying it into the side of a car? :)
