lmfao...i can't do a wheelie...nor will I ever want too..nor will I ever try...I'll watch though...Most of the peeps on here are track guys...i can count on my one finger how many people here really stunt..Im sure the track guys can hold a wheelie...but they don't like to squid around and chance runing thier bikes..

i try to pop it up by just blipping the throttle. I only got one decent one, was for about 4-5 secs about maybe 1 1/2 high. Tried to use the clutch, but its pretty hard to get used to so i'll start trying after i get the roll on to be decent. One of my friends told me how to do it cause he's a sick bastard and does wheelies at like 102 mph and for like 5 miles. I was riding with him one night, he slowed down and i knew he was going to do a wheelie so i kept going about 75 mph. I didn't see him for a good 2 min, i knew i couldn't cause his headlight was up in the air, so i was afraid somethign might of happened to him when i wasn't looking back so i sltarted to slow down, then i saw light come out of no where and suddenly there he was.

But i have more fun doing stoppies. i think i do it ok, but right now its just brake and back end comes up 1-2 feet and then i don't move newhere. I'm kinda afraid of doing a stoppie where the back end is up while the front wheel is moving. But thats where i eventually wanna get at.

Wheelies = Fun

Ha, on my first bike which was a '95 Katana...I think maybe once. But that thing was damn near impossible to wheelie. However, on my 929RR, it wheelies when I don't even want it to...which is awesome. I'll dabble in some stunts here and there.

My first bike was a 93. I got the front up a few times on accident.

but yeah those things like to stay on the ground.

I learned how to get it up watching skinemax. First time... mebbe 13. Self taught, and can hold onto it for hours.

Kindve personal question though. :P

i can hit up some wheelies whenever i want just using the gas but i have yet to figure out how to use the clutch.....i used to be really into trying to stunt and shit but i've recently been getting away from that and just want to become a good rider in all situations

If sportbikes were designed to wheelie they'd be equiped with motard forks. I never enjoyed reducing the amount of contact and control my bike had with the street anymore than I needed to. However there were a few highspeed lifts on a certain rolling backroad that were expected, and they only lasted a few seconds at the most.

It only happens for me by mistake, 3-5 secs. Overall I dont really stunt never had the urge to....I rather ride, and enjoy it other ways via long rides, twisties, & eventually hit up the track if win this months raffle :lol:....love to watch others though....

Try this next time your on your bike ducati.

Proceed to cruise at around 5mph. Grab clutch and pull in, rev bike to rev limiter, realease clutch and hold on.

You'll be good to go in no time. :squid:

5mph is for babies

Make sure to be at a complete stop
Pull clutch completely
Go WOT
Release clutch completely
Go stand in a corner

I used to say that I would never try to do any stunts, but now the only one I wouldn't mind trying is the wheely. However, I could never bring myself to even attempt it on one of the bikes I've had. Oh well.

I hope this comment wasn't too off topic! :D

here's how you do it....first you have a twin with a ton of torque and you get used to pulling that thing up but the balance point suxs...so then you jump on your friends 4fi and promise you won't ride a wheelies then at the first stop sign you pull it up and ride it to the next stop sign...then you do it again then swear to him that you didn't ride a 12 oclock wheelie and he never lets you touch his bike agian

i ride a 04 gsxr 750, and i love to do sunday rides with sprhk and others, just the normal speeds with the occasional ( damn i'm fast) speed bursts. but i will admit i love doin stand ups, maybe it's cuz i'm only 22, but they r so fuckin fun. i also race moto-x so maybe it's just the rush that i'm after but, whether ur a full blown stunt guy or a 60 year old cruiser, you all know damn well that when that front wheel is off ther ground, if it's on purpose for minutes or on accident for a second, it's the coolest moment ever
