I recently upgraded my bike to a Honda Dauville and I'm finding it extremly difficult to pull a decent wheelie.

I almost managed one the other night after the pub, but landed it crossed up and veered into a parked car. The Bike's OK, but I ripped my tracksuit.

Can anybody suggest any tips to help me hoist one up.

Peace out.

Erm, first if you're actually serious and I'll take the bait if you're not...

Practice somewhere which has, well, less stuff for you to hit.

Next, wear some half decent protection.

Then, use the clutch if you're not. Start slow and build it up.

If you find the bike wobbles a bit in the air, try lowering the rear tyre pressure. Maybe 15-20psi? Remember to pump it up again after.

Lastly, that you ripped your tracksuit is not considered 'Biking news'.
