while having the SLOWEST!!!!!! ride ever to Poole on Tuesday, got a bit bored and thought 'cant be that hard, after all I have a 996....' so ease up to 30mph in first, throttle off and back on quick and BINGO up she comes!!
Not as bad as I thought either, have experienced power wheelies (specially recently!!) and find them a bit scary...but meant ones seem ok.
must practice now...on private road of course:saint:

Hehehehehehehehehe. I was taught how to do wheelies this year; sitting back in the seat, short-shift into 2nd, wind the throttle wide open and when the power start to come on slip the clutch, release and up she comes....:frog:
Good chap bradders!
How many gears did you get through?
Now you need to shorten your gearing right down Paul, then you can scare yourself with the greatest of ease :)

Must have been that chain adjustment that Kev did for you:lol: Will expect a display on Saturday, won't be able to copy you as Sandra has a habit of falling off the back:(

Certainly should as it will also reduce the wheelbase
ok for you peeps.
on a 400 I've gotta lift it at 30 mph in first then straight into 2nd but only after 11k revs otherwise it drops.
is fun tho.:devil:
keep trying bradders, im gettign there
1 day theyre fine the next theyr ecrap but i'll get the hang of it one day, the sooner the better hopefully
The 'Berg wants to do it everywhere and in all the gears.
The trick is to lean forward to keep the darn thing down as we have a large Met Police training / sports centre 1.5 miles away so you run the risk of getting nicked if you let her take control.
Traffic lights can be a nightmare, 2nd gear, slipping the clutch from the off and gassing her hard and all of a sudden you're very light on the front and no longer staring at the black stuff!

3rd gear mingers are where it's at. Come back when you've mastered these boys.
