Wheelies always look impressive until they go wrong...I don't even try.

If you look about on YouTube you'll see loads of other makes and types of bikes getting just as wrong.
Probably more expensive with harley's impressive they can get the fronts so high .
:wheelie: :lowside:

I think they are not real wheelies on that video. They are circus tricks.
I think real wheelie is, when you lift your front wheel from highway speeds 2"-4" and keep it so for a loooong time!
But it needs something that most Hardly Movinsons don't have :devil:

That's because motorcycles of the "Agricultural type" were never built for speed or wheelies :rofl2: :rofl2:

Nor me, there are enough hazards on the roads without creating any more ways to damage me or my bike.

Like my sex life, I can only get it up for a short time and I'm more impressed by it than my partner.

The only time I managed a wheelie was when I was 19 on my CB250 (I know..I know!) and trying to impress my girlfriend ... she almost fell off!!   Needles to say that relationship didn't last too long... and I've never tried doing one since!   Cant really see the point...  :whatever:

Used to do wheelies all over the place when l was 15 or 16.
Did one in front of a Traffic Cop when l was leaving a dairy that had a few school mates outside. I see plod start his bike while looking at me. I think .....this won't be good. I decide to do a nice little halt signal and wait for him to arrive. He pulls up behind me, gets off then says what was that all about ? Being the honest young lad l briefly thought.....clutch malfunction. But decided on .....just a bit of a demo for the boys at the dairy officer. His reply....how about you take it home and keep the front wheel on the ground in future.......l can do that officer l replied........whew !!

Not long after that l binned it trying to do wheelies and change gear like the Honda 250 Motorsport boys. Didn't work out so well on my 250 F11 Kawasaki.
I decided my wheelie ace days were over.
