I was driving home from work tonight on my Busa. I stopped at a stop light, where this guy in the car next to me rolls down the window and asks me if I will do a wheelie for him. I tell him that I am not wearing the appropriate gear for doing #### like that, not to mention it is rush hour on the freeway and I don't really feel like rearending someone. Two cars ahead of me is a guy on a 2005 R1. This guy who asked me to do a wheelie yells ahead to this guy, which was a friend of his and asks him to do another wheelie. The light turns green and I watch to see if he is going to do it or not. Sure enough he gets going, stands up on the motorcycle and cracks a wheelie, rides it for a car length and then puts it down. He then stands up again and rides another wheelie probably four times the length of the first one. My question is, Is it easier to wheelie standing up on the pegs, this is not the first time I have seen guys do this? Later on the way home I took a side street and decided to power one up, in first. I cracked the throttle and the front end raises just a little bit for a few feet. When the front tire came down, I let off the throttle and gunned it again. Yeeee Haaaa! I rode it only for about a cars length, if that and let off. For some reason, that is what I usually do. Get the front end off the ground about two feet or higher, then chicken out and let off. Any tips of getting over this. I suppose just practice practice and practice. I just don't really feel like crashing my ride. I should probably get some frame sliders also. I need to start wearing all my gear when I do this too. Let me know what you think.
