Hi... want some opinions on wheelies. I am doing good with them,,, ran into a friend who was with a friend who of coarse no longer owns a busa or any bike at all give me advice on wheelie control... He sais when the bike is standing str8 up, it using the brake pedeal is not ideal because you are almost falling off the bike and need it to stand on... so he sais he hits the front brake to bring her back down when too far. I told him
I briing it up at only 15mph some times and get near 100 before putting her down... he said dont matter, hit the front brake and the wheel momentum change will bring you down... I said uhhhmmm,,, what if your doing a long ass wheelie and you need tobring it down more then once? He said just keep hiting it when ever you need it,,, it will work over and over... thats the way I was taughgt,,, try it. he said. Of coarse this was after he looked at me like im a dumbass after i told him I am right at the point when Im going to start shifting my busa in a wheelie as he said "you cant shift in a wheelie yet?" as if he does it all day long.
If I was stupid and tried this,,, I dont think there would be time for a plan B after the front tire going 15mph wasnt enuf to stop the 600+ lbs momentum of going past balance point to stop the momentum, and then bring me down back in front of the balance point... of coarse his friend believed him and I end up the one who dont know how to wheelie..., is this insane???
