Gary recently mentioned wheelies in a thread and got me thinking. My best friend could wheelie his 20" bicycle the full length of his driveway and more. I always wanted to do this too but it never happened. About '74 our county fair had a show of RD riders that could do wheelies farther than one lap around the horse track. Locals entered a wheelie contest during the show, I think the longest wheelie from the locals was shorter than 100 feet. A couple years ago I had a neighbor kid that could do the most graceful wheelies on his dirt bike, a nice ballet to watch. That ended soon when another neighbor reported this to the sheriff.
So, maybe it's not too late for me to learn to do this. I'll turn 60 in the next year. I could even get a one purpose bike ready to do this. I have a KZ200 that ………. There are some lessons on youtube, haven't watched any yet.
So, can you wheelie? Got any wheelie stories? Would you like to wheelie? What's the biggest bike you've ever wheelied? How did you learn to wheelie? What's your longest wheelie? Ever flipped the bike? Got any how to tips?
