Default RE: How to learn to make wheelies

I almost wish that I would just crash my bike so that I won't care about it anymore and then be able to start learning wheelies because I won't care if I dump it then. It's way too pretty now to mess it up by trying to learn how to wheelie. =(

Good videolink! but i made the mistake to look at some other related videos and i got scared now. Damn that was a nasty fall. We'll see. First get to know my bike and enjoy a lot of miles. I let you guys know if i get going on wheelies.

Put it in first then pull the clutch in, rev it to 8 grand and dump the clutch....While you are picking your nuts out of your stomach. You might as well pick up your spare bike parts. I have seen many many Marines pull this maneuver off. I think its funny.

I learned how to do wheelies the wrong way... 18 years old on my new/used 600 with a beer in me. I remember hitting about 8000rpm, slipping the clutch, the front wheel coming off the ground and the bike riding a long ways. Needless to say it scared the S**T out of me so bad (remember I was young, dumb, and full of ***) that I refuse to do them to this day. I ride now because I like to, not because I need to show off to anyone.
