I like wheelies, my almost stock 07 FXDL would do them regularly.

You can't hold them or you will loose oil...this engine is not meant to run at that angle, no V-Twins are, even a Ducati can't sustain a wheel without getting fuid where there ain't supposed to be none and loosing it where you need it. My new ride is a little too stretched to do a wheelie sept at the drag strip when I really let it rip...

Definitely. I figure as long as I don't think like an old man ... I won't become one. I'll only get a few more candles on my cake each year.

Since I have access to lots of backroads where I can't hurt anyone but myself, I'll admit I've tried a few times to get the front wheel off the ground on my wide glide. It probably just lacks the power to do it but I have gotten full extension on the front end. Maybe I'll keep trying, maybe I won't.
