Same advice I was gonna give, but you heard it first from the #1 Stunnah himself. Now how can you go wrong with that type of input?Practice...And don't practice on parking lots...You run out of room to soon...
True, true & true! My dad had several bsa/norton/triumph in the 60's and my uncle just told me the story of how he got rid of the last bike after sayin the imortal words above ... thanks Jace!famous last words
"HEY GUYS WATCH THIS"
322 enroute 1 mutiple broken bones lascerations and one messed up bike
sigh...if only I was as warp capable, NE. With your ride though, I can understand....then again, I'm not too sure I would want to go that fast either.i work hard in keeping my Green Dragon down. Hell If I hit it hard i can flip it over on top of me. hitting it easy will get it up all day.Practice ractice...
The balance point. That is the toughest part of learning to wheelie. Just takes practice to get the feel for it. And an awesome feeling it is. If you bring your wheelie up and feel like your gonna flip, you stomach just drops out and the front end flies up, you probably were not smooth enough and came up too damn fast. Set it back down immediatley and try again. Baby steps, thats what you have to do. Ease into the balance point, it will feel real weird, your stomach may drop out, and you will feel weightless, you will have to cut the throttle way back but you will still be able to feel in control. thats when you got it. Also there is like 2 balance points, there is the point where you feel weightless but still must accelerate to stay up, and then there is the point where you don't have to accelerate to stay up. I myself have to accelerate a little, I can ride em a 1/4 mile for sure, but not quite a 1/2 mile. Just keep tryin. You have to be smooth and comfortable, and no the bus is not a good bike to learn to wheelie on.Great tips and info, people! Still have a question, though: can anyone help me out with this so called balance point? I'm trying to go over it in my head, but I can't seem to picture it. Any tips?
Lately, I've had a bad feeling about getting the front up. I don't know why, but I figure that it's best not to push it. So in the mean time, I'm trying to over it in my head, but I can't seem to nail it.
All the advice and tips are great, people! I just wanna say thanks again and keep it comin!
Thanks, dood. I know the bus is not exactly the bike to learn on, so I'll try and take it slow.The balance point. That is the toughest part of learning to wheelie.
