Right...been far to much talk about the art of wheelies...and I'm very jealous! 

So come on....easy steps to a basic wheelie....other than just fecking twist the throttle!

Never ever been able to do em, not on my SV, Daytona, Gixxer or now my 10...I'm pathetic aren't I?  Sorry...shall I just go and hang my head in shame?

  You`re not alone...AND I did a wheelie school.(managed it there though but not on my own bikes since!!).

Its all in the mind lads. Once you get over the fear they are easy, especially on a ZX10R with 180bhp.

Excellent information there Jon.    + BHP

Now I need to find a grow bag to put my balls in for 6 months

wheelies just don't really interest me..... I am sure I would crack it eventually is I had a quite road and a few hours...... But I don't get the feeling others get when pulling mingers.... I get more excitement watching Jon do it.....

but each to there own...... but coming from someone who can only pull baby ones and not on demand.....

its all about fear and comfort  first thing face the fear...... next thing find the comfort zone...... I will discuss the power and clutch points on thursday for which I use..... but again I cannot do them every time on demand....

I would rather go around a corner sweetly getting line right, getting knee down at 130mph than do a 130meter wheelie.

watch this its only the basics but it will give you an idea, i use the clutch to wheelie not the power wheelie but whatever take it easy in small steps

small steps and maybe just try a bit over power over a hump to begin with (maybe the exit from a rundabout) to lift it an inch only............ then when you feel it's ok just try hard accelaration in 2nd on a flat straight and you'll soon either get the feel or will hate it..... 

It really is something to take gradually to see if you feel comfortable with it and if you don't then just forget about it, I'm certainly no wheelie god just the odd power wheelie really but I do enjoy em
