im fooocking crap
tried few times today and just lifted it up tiny tiny bit
im such a wuss
just dont know how to do that
on 2nd gear, 60 miles, about 6-7 k revs, and.....
have no balls  :cry:

Balls grow larger in size with time and practice. Are you coming off the throttle and then snapping it back on ? You need to push yourself a little bit more every time. try going up a slight hill.. some places are easier than others. Cover your rear brake and be a little more aggressive but be ready to ease off the throttle as it starts to get high. When you are used to it you can get them really high. I know when I'm close to a good balance point coz I can't see the road ahead ( if your sitting down. ) but you can get a balance point lower down but you will scream through the gear quicker.

It's good that your starting small. Move up slowly and you'll be fine. At least your getting used to the front wheel getting light.

I felt like I was getting no where for ages and then it all came together in couple of days. I've still got a lot to learn though myself.

Andy: I think my problem is getting worse it's kind of funny but I can't actually stop! The more I try the more I seem to do them.

And you find yourself pulling a lazy 400 yarder through the town centre, when you know you stand a massive chance of being pulled, but you just can't resist the urge.

Help me please !!!

Yes! and it's almost like when I see people.. like at bus stops I get get worse.. even though I know they probably think "what a wanker" I can't help it! I even do them past police stations if I have to.  :shock:

what the fook is wrong with me?  :tongue3:

I think like I do now mostly when I'm off the bike and inbetween wheelies   [rofl] but I still do them

truescot [rofl]

I find I get a good reception from van drivers.

So I normally pull along side them, wheelie down the road, slow down and wait for them to catch me up this normally gets the thumbs up :icon_thumright:

The kind of people to drive estate cars seem to hate me. Actually most car drivers in general I think. ;-)

yeah kids love it.  :headbang:

Funny I was talking about van drivers. One actually had both hands off the steering wheel clapping as I wheelied towards him going the other way earlier  [clap]

I was well pleased..  I was only up for a few secs as well!  :lol:
