Note to self: When popping a wheely on your 1000cc M/bike make sure:
a. You mean to do it
b. The bike is upright and not leant over in a turn
c. You wear a full face helmet to hide the look of terror and stupidty.
d. Pick the area, a empty stretch of road & not the entrance to a military camp.
e. Finaly when you get off the bike keep the confident/cocky walk until out of sight hiding the fact you feel a right ****
 
Some of my best wheelies have been fook ups In fact fair to say I can't wheelie for a the life of me. I wish I was wheelie good at it though.......
 
that has made my day, did the same this morning on the way in to work following a **** driver who had lost use of his indicators.

to get around him I give it some beans and whop up she comes .

still laughing (shitting) me self when i got to work.

i cannot wheelie at all but always amanage a little front air time when I'm not expecting it

:thumbup Those wheelies are the best of all.
 
Nothing beats ur favorite little rise on the way to work:thumbup... Mine is 600 metres from home just past the 3rd corner which is at a stop sign T intersection! I will sit there and hold up traffic to give myself that nice gap from what goes past YAHFUCKINHOO:wheelie!!! at that point my day starts, setting me up for nothing to exceed the enjoyment of those 10 seconds and except the **** I am about to endure... luckily it is just as fun on the way(more dangerous though due to the bad mood:fire from wk and associated throttle wrenching HAHAHA)
 
Ha ha - I was showing off away from some lights last weekend and proceeded to s#1t myself; 1st time I've really had the front wheel up for more than a splitsecond.
But the scary thing is I now know how to 'get it up' - mwa ha ha ha.
 
My bike never feels like its going to kift the front wheel which is what makes me think I've still got a 16 tooth front sprocket on.
 
ive still got standard sprockets, just open the throttle faster
(and cover the back brake, which probably is not working)
 
copy, paste, translate = easy!





















"That is one hell of a wheelie" translates to the squiggly thing above (Arabic) and then translates back to "That is one hell of acrobatic movement". Something gets lost in translation obviously!

Tuoldos standard front is 17 not 16 like Gen 2s.

There doesn't seem anything in it between mine & yours tho and mine is 1 down front and 2 up rear?
 
Must admit Bay, mine`s the same, and is definitely 16 tooth, as I`ve only just bought it, ex demo, from the dealer.......

I know this because I had some tool that actually UNDERTOOK me the other week in the same lane, bloody idiot, as I slowed whilst approaching some traffic lights. He was in a little MG TF, top down, bird in with him.......

Anyway, rather than giving him a gobfull, I just coolly pulled alongside him at the lights, but when they turned green, he was introduced to the angry side of "Mr Tuono", as I gave it a fistful and completely left him. In the process, however, the front wheel was well off the floor...........which increased my satisfaction, and my grin, no-end !!
 
perhaps gen 1's are different then, on a gen 2 you cant use much throttle in first otherwise she's up and away and in second you still have to have your whits about you !!
