Indeed!

That was a race meeting, where they normally don't mind too much on the cooling down lap... unless you crash .

What's sensibly then, 6 inches off the ground? There's enough videos of people losing it very early after getting the front wheel up.

Learning to cover the rear brake, progressing a little at a time rather than going high straight off.
Not deciding to dump the clutch at max revs when the most you've tried it before was at 1/3 revs and so.

All the sorts of thing you're likely to do on an expensive wheelie school, actually .

I flipped one of the first bikes I ever rode, and I wasn't trying to wheelie it.

Its like learning to walk, if you try and run before anything your going to fall over, only time ive come close to flipping a bike is a dodgy 1st to 2nd gear change touch wood

I've inadvertently had the front wheel up under very hard 2nd gear acceleration on my 700cc Deauville a few times.

It's such a heavy bike that I'd have thought it would fuck the forks coming down after getting the wheel up to a decent height, i weight nearly 100kg too.

I've trashed a fair amount of bodywork, cans, fork seals and footpegs in my yoof getting it horribly wrong. My first wheelie was inadvertent (KX85, big handful, dump clutch), I even managed to ride it a fair way before flipping it and ending up in a wet ditch. I sussed it out eventually, but wheelies on the road resulted in bans and clusterfucked insurance.

I did see a mate pop a stock GL1000 on it's back wheel down the entire length of the strip at a Run what 'ya brung, which got plenty of cheers and claps.
