    This is how you learn to wheelie

    If you don't like me I'll shave your cat, steal your extension cords, not limited to your multiple supply outlet adapters and raid your fridge. Please don't let this inhibit you from contacting me, just be mortified;-p

    Hmmmm, interesting. How bout you go out and try some wheelies with your bike, take some pics, and let us know how it goes. If you need further instruction, this post (made by someone else) should help with the details:

    WHEELIE, WHEELIE, WHEELIE............. -- ECONORACING, 02:52:11 01/10/03 Fri
    Really enjoy the site. I just bought a 2000 TL1000R with 2500 miles on it. It is stock except for a pair of WILEYCO slip ons. How do I get this puppy up? I can throttle it about 2 feet above pavement in 1st only at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle when the tire is warmed up. However, I feel if I pull back too much it's going to flip. Should I be afraid and not pull back the throttle coasting through the intersection?? PLEASE HELP. Any suggestions? 2nd gear pop the clutch at what RPM??? I need to be wheelieing by this summer. Changeing gears the whole 9 yards. Thank you guys and girls for any and all help.

    Hey limp dick... you win the vaganitus award for '03... I am confident that the remaining 354 days out of this year won't be ringing in any posts which will bump you off of the pussy of the year platform after this request. You are indeed a true squid and deserve everything coming your way as you learn to wheelie. Have you even found out how fast you can stop, transition, anything? Or have you not even taken the warning sticker off of your fuel tank? Confused? ok, back to riding long big dick wheelies... cause that is what you need, right? gotcha...

    Ok fuck - what you need to do is stand on your seat and with your left hand, wave at all the import car kooks in thier cut springs, stock prelude with missing hub caps and go fast tape on the bumper... as you are waving, make sure you use the very popular Rose Parade "Turn the lightbulb" style hand movement... now as you are standing there, waving at the kooks you are trying to impress, like the hot chick in the passenger seat of the primered honda with 3 other dicks in the car, because for sure once she sees you on one tire, will drop trou - and come a runnin... oh wait, wheelies - right.

    Ok - acorn dick, what gear are you in again? wait, you need to be shifting "and the whole nine yards" by this summer... or your chances of losing your virginity go right out the winder, huh! ok, back to wheelies... assuming you know how to position yourself on the bike, are familiar with your clutch grab and heat... tire temp and road composition - too much? ok, so anyway, you are on the street in the middle of the lane with all the leftover oil and shit, running your 207 ZR's five minutes out of your trailor park in say... second gear. Now what we are going to do here is dip your stock fucking clutch all the way to the grip... now pay attention fuck-o, this is where it gets complicated... now - you are going to want to say hello to mr. Rev Limiter for a good 3 seconds - now you have to multi-task here, because while you are familiarizing yourself with absolute bullshit abuse on your bike with your right hand, take your left and double check that you do not have nuts... once confirmed, still on the limiter, you with me? okay - so no balls, abusing your motor and getting ready for the fun part... you need to have some style here bro, so another tip would be to remove your jacket and possibly your helmet too... now go to e-bay and buy yourself a Curious George shirt, doctors love that shit... oh wait - left hand - clutch in - right hand, wide fucking open... drop the clutch and do it so fast that you shake the triples... that way you get that crossed up effect as you near 6" - - that's the tire off the ground, not you dick...

    ok, so as your front end lightens up - you want to do a massive shoulder shrug as to imitate that your upper body is responsible for the front end elevation (chicks dig that part) - and once you feel like you are going to flip, well that means you have breached the 1 foot mark - now this is where the learning curve turns into a brick... most guys take a season to get past this all the way to the balance point... but we don't have that luxury do we... your virginity is on the line!!! so, now your ass is puckered, the chicks are flashing their tits, you have yanked your massive squid transport system off the ground with just your arms and you are at 1 foot... mind you now, this all must take place in less than one second!... okay, so when you feel like you are going to flip, take your left hand and slowly slide it off the clip on and point at somebody, doesn't matter who, as long as you line your index up with a witness... this way, when you double that fucking thing over and that witness is telling the paramedics what happened, he will say that for .000009 seconds - you were the MAN! now if you don't get that index to lock on a witness, you are merely a statistic... that is critical to fucks like you... you are going to have to be able to tell the story about the day you did a 200 mile an hour wheelie in front of a chinese restaurant and "pointed" at your bro on the curb... and it must have been that man hole cover that sent the whole thing wrong... but hey - you may get if you pull it off.

    Cheers Cheese-Dick - I hope your bike lasts you longer than a month, and ultimately you grow into a nice squid bitch with fur and chrome alike...

    Take care, happy new year, and don't forget to post your the pics of the aftermath and request parts from all of us, I know some guys that can rebuild a TLR faster than punks like you can crash em...

    You are truely a stupid fuck.

    I think Ben Fox was working on a rig like this for his dyno in the springs a year or so back. I know they had a couple test runs on it and Ben was saying it was pretty cool, but he wasn't quite willing to let "just anyone" try it.

    It will teach you absolutely nothing besides poor throttle control.

    so tell me somthing.... why is learning how to wheelie such a bad thing???

    i think learing how to do some small wheelies and stoppies are a good way to learn how to ride a bike.... learn how to keep your cool incase you end up with one tire off the ground... going out to a safe spot to see what it takes to get the tires off the ground will help you learn what it is you can do on the street/track... for example they might learn things like how to make a u turn in a tight area without putting their foot down... or they can learn how much brake the can apply before the back tire will lift off the ground.... the most inmportant part they will learn throttle controll...

    alot to learn from doing things as gay as learning how to controll your bike on one wheel.....

    dont bother posting back i dont have a computer right now so the next time ill get to check this will be ia a week...... if im lucky...

    I agree. After spending a couple months on messing with wheelies, inspired due to the low temps, cold roads, recent accident in twistys, I felt I have gained more experience with the throttle/brake control of my bike among with the little 12o'clock reminder that the bike is sometimes the boss.

    1 pin the throttle
    2 dump the clutch

    Re: This is how you learn to wheelie

    ...alright it might not be that easy

    the balance thing IS key when it comes to wheelies. a humans sense of balance and a bikes sense of balance are two different things. you have to lean further back than you think you need to to hold it, which is difficult for a newb. once you find balance it is much easier to accomplish, but still dangerous, you can't get rid of that factor.
