I see why you guys say that it is fun. It made my heart beat fast as it ever has.

Easy, before you know it you will be doing mile long wheelies for the rush.

Yeah, i'm guessing it only stayed up about 75 feet, it was a lot of fun though
 
u squid!!!! lol.. i ride on one wheel from time to time just ease it down so u dont destroy your fork seals.
 
I did my first one by accident also. I bought my 06 and rode it straight from the dealership to Daytona after being left by my club cause the dealer was taking so long to prep it. I didn't realize the true power of it 'til I "pulled off" from a stop light. Oh and did I mention my previous bike was an 03 Katana 600...helluva difference.
 
This looks like a good thread to talk about a "Group Buy" on some fork seals?

Been there, first time I nailed it in first, I didn't even know I was up there until it came down. That wasn't too bad. Now the time I let the clutch out to fast, shifting into 2'nd I had a different response....

careful dude. It's seriously addicting you'll wanna get up on one everywhere you go. When you get a lil better at it, try doing the stand up wheelie where you actually stand on the pegs while wheeling. That's fun. Or doing the "knack-knack" made famous by Valentino Rossi. Basically a Jeremy Mcgrath trick while doing a stand-up wheelie.

Thats right, I understand that you guys start out with your wheelies and you think they're great... and they are, they are terrific. But pretty soon, a wheelie isn't enough. You're out on the street trying to score a stoppie, or maybe a tank stand . And the next thing you know, you're strung out on tire blowing burnouts. It gets serious, real serious.

Sounds like a bad recipe for road rash or hamburger fatality. KEEP THE RUBBER DOWN AND SHINY SIDE UP.(someone's logo) in Ohio if you get caught riding a wheelie, they take your license for possible suspension. I dont know this from experience, just heard other riders talk.
