wheelies....
They are so much fun...
I've just been watching helmet cam footage of the 1098 being raped and its basically given me a semi lob on...
with a couple mates,hoisting wheelies down the road on your average sunday is probably the most fun you can have without doing a trackday.
Who hear enjoys a good wheely?

Tooo scary for me.

I find going round corners, and not just popping wheelies down a straight bit of road far more interesting and enjoying.Princess wrote:They are so much fun...

If you can teach me how to ride mate that would be great.
I do trackdays, but whats the point of riding fast around a corner on the public road?
I can do a 1.05 round pembrey if that helps, no valentino rossi but riding quickly round corners on the road is pointless.
So what you're saying is, you can't wheely?

Everyone has a munter now and again jase...
Tom, thats quite true with KTMs,same with old twins etc. basically after doing a wheely for a certain amoubnt of time, the pistons would basically start to run dry casuing big problems.....
Holding a ktm at high revs for a long period of time is not good.

Re: wheelies....
The only wheelies i ever pull are the unintentional ones over crests or playing traffic light GP's
I lack the cajones to hoik them up at will

Re: wheelies....
I think wheelies are sooo addictive!
It bothers my conscience that if caught wheeling its an instant ban but i just love them!
I can only clutch it up but do so regularly, I have a friend who has an rsvr mille and he is constantly on the back wheel!
I used to be able to change gear whilst on the back wheel on a trials bike but im not confident enough (i haven't got big enough balls) to try it on my road bike
