I can't bring mine up in one movement in second because it just spins the wheel.

But it is handy for going onto motorways with. The looks you get from people are you mrege down the sliproad on one wheel. Classic.

G: What you up to tomorrow night? May be able to meet up and have a little play. That road in the vid looks ace for it. What's the plod presence like though?
Try this....

Stick it in second
Dial in about 4500rpm (bike should be sitting at 20-25mph)
compress forks by pushing forward a bit
as you lean back dump clutch and give it a fist full
when it starts rising just lower then revs a touch and it will still lift but slower
try and find your balance point

you'll hold the wheelie longer and it's easier to balance as the revs are slightly lower.

Not by any means an expert but i'm getting better at em .
