Not wishing to be to big for my boots, and I'm sure it's nothing to be too proud of, but I pulled off my first ever wheelie this morning on my Tw125. It's taken me months of reading threads, asking questions and surfing the net, but it's finally happened and I'm so happy hehe Smile. Pictures on the way!

Thanks to everyone that gave me some advice. I'm off to practise some more. Very Happy

I bloody did, but wheeling a 4 stroke 125 further than an inch off the floor took more confidence and skills than I had.

As for the addiction, I've spent most of the last hours either wheeling, trying to wheelie or thinking about wheeling Smile So much fun, I even got an applause by 3 little kids sat at the side of my road hehe

Don't worry about it, I still don't have the confidence or skill to wheelie my 4 stroke 750cc. Neutral

You never come out to play anyway, do it on your own bike Razz.
I have tried and started to manage it, then paranoia about dropping the bike or wrecking the clutch kicked in so I stopped trying.
