Can you wheelie?

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

As above, but I mean a proper wheelie.

i.e. pop it up and hold it up for say 100 metres.

I can loft mine about a foot or two, but not keep it up( ).

As for my ped... It fails quite drastically

Never tried and not personally interested in trying.

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Fair enough.

I suppose when i get my proper bike i would try.. But only thing that would stop me is thinking about if it goes wrong? Like.. to much power or getting to confident to fast..

That's why I haven't tried on the mille, I was confident enough on my hornet to want to try it.

Not too fussed anymore, it would be nice though.

It causes more damage to my 7R than it's worth.

If i had more power i might wheelie.

Depends on the bike for me.
On the klr i can get it up,but not keep it up for long.(the bike )

Tryed on a gas gas 450 and it was soooo easy to keep it up.

Dtr125 will go up easy in first and second,but after that it's no good.

Cb500 would have been fairly easy but i chickened out

For some reason i dont feel comfortable doing it on road going bikes,but any off road style bikes is easy.

It's all practise,practise,practise...

EDIT: I think it's a good idea to practise this,so when it happens by accident (trying to get away from the lights quick e.t.c.) you can control it.

[Shaane]

Anybody think i should attempt a few 'power' wheelies on my 49cc Beast.

i can wheelie 125s for facking ages, and can do the odd circle wheelie on the monkey bike im better on smaller bikes, can keep the hornet up for fooking yonks going through the gears, but started trying high slow stuff and flipped it.

monkey circles!

i can power wheelie the 1000 for as long as i want as its got all the power ever needed.
I cant clutch anything up though - ever. Just dont have a clue how to do it really.

I was never interested in wheelies until i got the 1000 and now if theres a straight it gets wheelied. kind of addictive.

[Luke_Retrofly]

I beg to differ, zimma was the original wheelie god, however that torch has been passed onto G

Luke is just pure crazy

Anyway, yes I can wheelie, badly.

Luke

[Shaane]

i suppose it would be the buzz of all the car drivers or people walking hearing something tear up the road on its back wheel

Every time i hear a bike i immediately look Saw somebody on a GSXR other day in the Rizla colours. Come of a island and wheelies then the bike snaked like fook and he slowed down immensely fast. Don't know if he nearly lost it or wanted to slow down

i can not do it intentionally, and have found when friends i know whove hooned up a street on a back wheel do it, car drivers and pedestrians tend to think "wanker"

I can wheelie my six for miles, and do slow wheelies and all that stuff, no circles cause I have no want to drop the bike, same with high chairs/spreaders, I don't want to land hard and kill the tank the bikes mint

The 1000 I'm still practicing slowing them down and all that.

Actually have some one willing to take pics now So hopefully by summer will have some good pics and vid-ja's up.

Its pronounced Jixxer!

[ram_doom]

[Reppyboyo]

I can power wheelie it up for a while.
Never really tried a proper wheelie tho.
Too scared of flipping/dropping my bike.

[Fawbish]

I can hold one for longer than twenty metres I reckon, but not sure Im quite good enough for miles yet (at all) haha

So I chose the twenty metre.



Killa, you dont need more powah! Though your bike is a bit heavier than mine I suppose.

Though I think all my recent wheelies have killed my engine mounts cos my bike makes a creaking metal/plastic sound when I brake or set off



I cant power wheelie because I just never really try, I rarely get enough space to power it up anyways.

Much prefer clutching it, and thats just natural for me to clutch instead of power.

Dav1 powers his up, and doesnt like clutching it at all. Its weird how some people dont like stuff and other people do etc

[repsolblade]

I think wheelies look mint, can get it up for 20 metres or so. would love to do the high chair looks dead hard that, must cost a bit to get that right. Like a collar bone or 2

Have done on pit bikes and KX65s but that doesn't really count.

Hahaha why have 2 people voted as I am LukeVFR lol

[LuckyDip23]

Not yet - but i keen trying
Im a bit scared to bin my bike TBH cos its my only form of transport.

[G]

Think 'sparks' would be the one that can actually wheelie on the forum .
I've never really bothered so much with going up through all the gears - preferring to use height, keeping the speed down a bit - not got to the point I can push it past the beginning of the balance point however and haven't tried decently in some time, what with the leg.

As usual, I'd suggest that if you approach starting doing wheelies sensibly they should be safer than the normal riding most people use their bikes for; both for themselves and their bikes.

[Wave2k]

Yes, but not very well, and not that controlled.

[The Tot]

I can pop it but as Binge can verify - i can't do it very well - hence the knackered head bearings. Used to do them well enough on the XR125 to go for 30-40 ft until the front went down. Tried it on the 250 - dooable, but i was already in the upper limit of the powerband when it did come up. i'll go up a few teeth on the rear to see if i can get it up off the power. hence why i DONT try any more.
