Default wheelies good or bad??

I personally think doing wheelies or seeing another brother on a harley doing a wheelie is soo sick. But I know it can't be as good for the bike as it looks. My question is, what is the overall negative afftect on your bike when you do a wheelie? anyone have experience with this?

Holly ****. What a dumb ***. Did he not see the water before he started. If there was no camera he probably wouldn't have fell off.

After riding for 48 years I've never figured out what the point is in doing a wheelie or stoppie as they most often end up as a crashie.&nbsp\\;

When I was growing up the word was Cool, before that it was Mod, before that it was Groovy, Now I guess it's "Sick", Man I'm gettin old, I just don't equate the word sick with something being ahhh, whatever, sick.[&:]

that was a nasty high side! i bet an hd with good horsepower would be&nbsp\\;a riot on one wheel!&nbsp\\;my bike is too&nbsp\\;heavy and underpowered for&nbsp\\;those antics IMO. oh yeah, and i'm sick of getting hurt......&nbsp\\;
