chevysoldier Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 FZR's don't like to wheelie. Too hard on the transmission. I don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedTriple44444 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'm on the fence about even trying. I have no reason to do it other than to say I did it. It is a lot of fun. It's just something I want to do... don't know why exactly. I have dreams about it sometimes.You can't tell me you haven't done it accidentally on that bike. My front wheel is constantly coming up a few inches off the ground unintentionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My front wheel is constantly coming up a few inches off the ground unintentionally.Honestly, only once that I can think of. I'm pretty slow off the clutch for that exact reason.

SpeedTriple44444 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 One time I was coming over a rise and accidentally clutched up a huge first gear wheelie (went to shift into 2nd and my hand slipped off the clutch). Scared the piss out of me, but I had a permagrin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruised Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 yut ugggh!In all reality I have nothing to add to this thread, nothing against wheelies, I just thought that video makes for a good chuckle!That's hilarious!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruised Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 When I was a little younger and had my zx7 and Hawk 650nt that's all I wanted to do but now that I'm 32yrs. and have a 7month old I'd rather be boring! I don't mind carrying the front wheel off the ground a little but never got into hitting the balance point! I have a couple friends I used to ride with that grew up on dirt bikes and could pretty much ride on one wheel as long as they wanted!
