first wheelie!!

bradders · 14-Jul-2005, 19:58

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

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....

Good chap bradders!
How many gears did you get through?

TP · 14-Jul-2005, 20:47

Now you need to shorten your gearing right down Paul, then you can scare yourself with the greatest of ease

I know a few little hump back bridges you can come play "airplanes" on too Paul

Must have been that chain adjustment that Kev did for you

Will expect a display on Saturday, won't be able to copy you as Sandra has a habit of falling off the back

gears...come on, hardly there yet!!

TP - got a 40t rear but not yet fitted, so that should make it even easier!!

practice....practice.....practice.....

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.
