used to try them but have no idea of the gap between front wheel n tarmac, stopped when i realised i had no concept of how high i was going.

perfectly happy to have the front rising on track ie the mountain,under dunlop bridge etc, thats fine with me and as much as i need

I've given up now to mate.

Enjoy them on the spur of the moment but ain't no great wheelier plus cost me a fortune in fork seals over the years to :roll:

I will stick with what i know and do best, holding everyone up or getting taken at on trackdays :wink:

love em and it surprises people when you pull off and pop an old zzr 600 on the back wheel they tend to think did that just happen :lol: :twisted:

I love wheelies, they are great. The only people who say they are not are people who can't do it :twisted:

It does take quite a toll on your bike though, I killed four engines on my last Blade, all due to long distance wheelies. But there is nothing quite like lofting a well balanced wheelie.

I don't care what your mum told you, they ARE big, clever AND funny :D :D :D

I cant do wheelies.. I could never on pushbike either..

I love seeing a good wheelie.. makes me envious that I cant do them.. not that I ever would on my own bike though..
