wheelie school

[kev]

ive decided im going to wheelie school soon as i get back from my honeymoon so it ill be he end of march. ive looked around a few and found this one. they charge £200 for the day or £150 if you book 3 or moroe people. they supply a 1200 bandit to learn on and they say if you cant wheelie by the end of it they will give you your money back. if your intrested tell me and i dont want oas of you saying it looks like fun then when its time to hand over he cash you say you cant afford it. https://www.stuntwheelieschool.com/course.html

Yeah, we (me and 2 others) were planning on doing it next week, but they don't reopen 'til March ...but we're going off-roading instead

Let me know when you're planning to go, and we can have a bigger group (although I'm not sure if they're actually restricted to groups of 3)

Have you been reading MCN today

Little article in there about how to wheelie and a couple of websites to visit..

www.jimmyfireblade.co.uk
www.thewheelieschool.co.uk

A good idea though, wouldnt mind giving that a try. Or the cheaper solution, get zim to teach us, while lending us his bike of course

they have an engine cut out thingy hanging off the back, so if you go too far it cuts the power and brings you back down.

might, might be interested... *but*
not that I'm claiming I'm great at wheelies (which I'm not ), but from what I've seen of those days I can already wheelie better than they teach on their one day course

It's not just about their teachings, G, but more the fact that they're not your bikes (so binning them won't be an issue), and there won't be any traffic/pigs around to stop you

If I can get my gear lever set up right binning it really shouldn't be an issue .... and for a novice I very much doubt it is, from my early attempts at wheelies something known as 'fear' actas as a great wheelie control device

When i went to a wheelie school last year ( b day pressie thnx mum ) i found it to be a great day out. I used Bandit 1200's which was great considering i am on a 33bhp licence also my 16 yr old mate was able to use them too . Although it was great fun i found it a bit limited. After you are shown the basic techniques you take turns for the rest of the day trying to get it up and then keep it up . That is all. You have to pay another days course to be tought how to change gear mid wheelie which i think was a bit of a con. But i suppose they have to keep business some how.

Anyway i would recommend it if you have no idea on how to pull a wheelie, but if you can already then it aint really worth it as different techniques apply to different bikes. And how many of us have a 1200 Bandit stashed away??
