Popped my wheelie cherry!

[JakeyR]

Hi all, just whent for a buzz then, it's quiet and cold, so no one was out, was down a quiet dead end road where all the "ped bois" arse around, there was no one there so i decided to pull in and practise some wheelies.

First few attempts were utter bollocks, i would have looked a right clown, but they started gradually getting better, and then i did it! Got the front wheel properly up, and into "the balance" for a good 3 seconds! Was chuffed, had another few tries and couldn't match 3 seconds, but felt like i was getting them in the balance, which is the main thing i suppose.

I'm really happy because i think with having a supermoto people expect you to be able to wheelie (or maybe im being paranoid?) can't wait 'till tommorow now to carry on practising

Jake.

Nice, keep practicing, you were no where near balance though if for only 3 seconds feels higher than it is, but keep practicing

I can imagine the RS being an awkward bike to wheelie, with the positioning the way it is, well when i rode one i was a bit wobbly! too cramped for me

i only do stoppies as i've been pulling wheelies and stoppies on my pushbikes since i was about 7 started being able to wheelie my monkey bike, then my dt, but the senda was a bit stubburn! takes a lot more work to get the front up without revving the balls off it and dumping the clutch.

cheers sparks, yeah i've been told it feels a lot higher than it is, thing that made me think id hit the balance is the fact i didnt rev it out, just dropped the front end as i wasn't expecting a real wheelie!

I remember trying to wheelie my Senda, really difficult so well done vids and pics are always good

What are we classing as a wheelie as with the gixxer im forever getting the front wheel off the floor ( power wheelie ) , even if it is only a few inches off .
And it feels like forever , guess the distance travelled is a fair distance but not had the testicles to try getting the front end right up ,ican just imagine the front end going up and over taking the back end

[Ant]

i got the misses to take pictures of me doing wheelies cuz i told her they were really good but after looking at the pics i realised a cat couldnt even fit under the front wheel (mid flight)

I have nt plucked up the courage to try and pop some one wheeled action yet as too scared of dropping the bike Had the occasional accidental one, but none on purpose

Sorry to bring this thread back, was looking through the files on my computer and found a vid of me practising in the driveway about a month ago, this is when i'd just learnt how to pop the front wheel up, most of them are crap but ther's a good one at 37s i'll make another vid when i get my bike sorted.

Haha, well played mate.
Keep on practising. Given a bit more room you'll be pretty good at that...
but why the driveway?

Thanks for all the comments guys

Ciarán, i was in the driveway as i had no front brake at the time (pistons and seals in the calipers where worn) so was definatley not going on the road with no front brake, not only the dangerous side of things it's also because my insurance was void, so the past month i've just been practising wheelies up and down my drive until i've saved enough money for the pistons and seals

[Ciar?n]

Haha.
Fair play mate.
I respect that your playing it safe. Although doing a dangerous activity.
Double negative anyone?
lol

Anywho.

I couldn't even lift my scooter in space that small, guess having the gears and clutch help you pop it anywhere!

Keep it up anyway mate.
