Ive seen videos of sportys, dyna's and baggers pulling the front wheel off the ground, but has anyone ever pulled one on a softail???, mine seems to light the back tire up before i get enough traction get the front up. And yes i know its not a crotch rocket but neither is a bagger and people do them on those big things. Even if your not into stuff like that you gotta admit it would be cool to see a bike like that just rip it up down the road [:@]

 

only when I hit the curb @20[sm=icon_rofl.gif] j/k good question

why bother?

that is awesome, he has to be pushing some big power and at that i wonder how he is putting it to the ground that is awesome though. I know it can be done

 

Here's a couple more for you to look at, The second one doesn't have any wheelies, but I'm sure you'll like it if you haven't already seen it.

I'm sure that bike is putting out some good power, but the guy used the clutch to get it up also. Seems like it would be pretty rough on the clutch, but I never done it. On my ZRX 1200 (sold it) I use to be able to just whack the throttle open in second, no clutch at all, and the front would come up. My deuce is lower, longer, and heavier- probably takes a lot more to get it off the ground. Same deal comparing a sporty to a softy- shorter, lighter, higher center of gravity = easier to wheelie. I don't know it I could do it now or not...it's putting out some good power, but I'm just not willing to whup on it like that. Nonetheless, I enjoy watching others beat on their rides.

 

I'm gonna be disappointed if I can't get the wheel up after I do my engine build.

 

Anybody got any idea who is singing that version of "Born to bewild"? That was bada$$!

 

These guys should get together with the "Motorman" and make a How to ride like an Idiot instructional dvd. Makes me wonder how many bikes and bones they broke learning these tricks.Really amazing skills.
