Want to learn to Wheelie ?

I thought it would be a good idea for the Sally to buy it for Thursday nights [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Sorry to dredge an old thread, this is exactly what's on my mind at the moment though!

I can get the front up in pretty much every gear (that's what comes of having a decent supermoto) and wheelie fully through second or third but can't seem to get the balance point or change gear mid wheelie, so I REALLY want to master it :)

If anyone else in Swindon has a similar scratch to itch then let me know ;D

try standing wheelies (most find these easier to learn) and use the back brake, keep it on a bit when u get it up to help find the balance point.

I've been to that wheelie school (same time as burger / dave / whatever hes calling himself these days) We had a fun day, as he said i wouldnt say its worth 150 quid, JayDee is cra-p at wheeling dont listen to him... jokes, ive seen how long he keeps it up for :-/ its impressive to watch :-? still trying to get to grips myself, just every now and again ripping the throttle back on the blade getting used to it. Whatever you decide to do have fun and be carefull for christs sake, you dont want to end up with 4 broken bones like me ;D

hey peep!sounds good plan been looking at wheelie school but near silverstone there web site looked pretty good but £200 for the day but could get group rate?not sure on agenda for the day but takes the risk out of binning your own bike its gotta be good [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

lessons still available for "Kebab rates" at a secret location near me... ;-)
PM me for details.........

i'll be back, once i pull my finger out and get the bike serviced 8-)

youre gonna be changin in no time at all spudgun, you pulled some good long wheelies with the right throttle control :-) just need to now learn the "off, snick a gear, back on" throttle control at a ppoint about half way through the distance you were wheelying... :-)
