Using it is one thing.
Covering it is totally different lol!
You never know when things can get outta hand mate, and you don't want to have to think about getting your foot in the right place!

I flipped it once before i covered the brake.
It's not much fun.
Well saying that, i just jumped off the back of the bike.
But seriously, you never know, the throttle might decide to jam or something crazy.
For slow stuff maybe you should try downgearing a bit?
Best bet is to ask sparks, but with the really slow stuff your more likely to drop the bike sideways than flip it.

if you read what i said again it will make more sense, look at, mine, try, and spin out. any better? my rear tyre is a hard compound and there is little grip in the wet and cold, so my tyre just spins. if i had a better tyre i could attempt to wheelie. |
No, just sounds like you cant wheelie.  |
what? is some one knocking? o wait its just your VFR
i can wheelie thank you, my tyre doesnt hold its heat, i went home from the missus the other nite and the back was spinning under power all the way to mine, i needed a tyre that would last, but i'm starting to regret the lack of grip.
shall i picture whore like you when i get chance to actually get some pictures? just because i dont mean up and wheelie up a long road in my spare time doesnt mean i cant.
shuddup mike! lmfao

When I wheelie the viffer I do a slow burnout before hand. Not enough to square the tyre right off, but enough to make it sticky as fuck. |

Now now, calm it children.
Nice wheelies JakeSM50, did you find it hard doing the stand up ones, as opposed to sit down uns?
Looks good though mate - Love the KTM

My Hornet does spin up under power, even when it was in 33bhp.. but that was usually when I started the ride for the day(after the engine was warm).
Haven't tried recently on normal wet roads tbh but I think any bike on any tyres will spin in the wet with about 2 inches of leaves
It certainly did spin at about 3k revs when I started leaving work one night at 4 AM. But then it was icy cold and the tyres had some form of ice 
It was fine after a mile though and could still take corners quite fast without the rear end going anywhere except for where it should go 
Nice wheelies Jake, Wish I could do them half as good as you. I can do some form of wheelies but nowhere near as good as those 
I ride too fast too often and never think about trying to wheelie.. plus I don't really know anywhere secluded to try them out... Meh.
