Default powering up vs. power wheelie

ok damnit im sick of seeing people talk **** about power wheelies just because they clutch up. clutching up does NOT automaticly disqualify what you are doing from a power wheelie. powering up and doing a power wheelie are not the same thing, if you are accelerating and using the power of the bike ie: more and more gas, shifting gears to keep it up, you my friend are doing a power wheelie.

I power my wheelies up. the higher i go, the longer the wheelie stays there at a decent mph! sometime it will hit rev limiter, but i have to learn to shift.

I like power wheelies because that is how i learned. I have a lot of stunt guys tell me to clutch it up, but Y????
I like them now. eventually i might want to learn to clutch but you have to take baby steps.
The guys on the street or "squids" will sometimes turn it into a abortion debate. If you are learning, like me then you have to be comfortable in what you are doing! Great post JZ! you are 100 percent correct brother!

i almost looped my gixxer doing a powerwheele i guess when it was coming up just before the bp it hit the powerband and the bike almost looped
also clutching feels so much smoother
