How to wheelie

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6656191590638402466

A few years old but still good.

 

The fat:lack of power ratio of me:ER5 is astonishing as the fucker
will not lift. I suppose I could sit further back on the seat.

 

All you need to do is ride along in 1st at about 20mph, pull the
clutch in , rev it to the redline, drop the clutch and pull on the
bars. It'll loft one, have no doubt.

 

And if he flips it, at least it'll land on something big, gay and soft.

 

I'll give it a go.

He won't flip it....

 

I can only express admiration for your dedication. Get it on film if
you can please.

 

Bloody good that - just the kind of info I've been looking for. Big long
wheelies are cool innit.

 

Just don't post it if you die...

If you're going to post from the grave, Easter is the time to do it.

 

Funnily enough I found video of you on my PC the other day!

 

Careful, you'll be KF'ed in a moment...

 

He'd better bloody hurry up then. Easter's almost over.

 

Eh? What?

 

Quite boring, actually.

I tried it just on power without the clutch and nuffink happened. I
then tried it as you suggested, 20mph, clutch in, full throttle,
clutch out, just some quick accelleration and then it hits the rev
limiter. Also tried it @ 30 in second gear.

I then went up a hill and tried the same thing in first and the front
end went very light for about half a second but I didn't notice any
upward motion. Too many pies?

 

God yes!

 

No.

Give it 'ere, ya big lump.

 

Should I be worried?

Do I really have to spell it out for you?

Is your use of 'are cool innit' merely an attempt to amuse or is it
because you is grammatically challenged?
