Default wheelie

Well..this post was originally going to be about how,unlike a lot of riders, i really enjoy riding slow..uh..scratch that for now. i work 2nd shift and have a 20 mile commute thru rural farmland..and sometimes i open the Bob up a bit from a stop sign with a clear view in each direction. Sometimes get a little chirp from the tire and run it thru the gears. Tonight i revved it up and popped the clutch a little aggressively..and the front wheel came up about a foot and a half! Haven't done that since my 79 Sporty! Don't plan on making a habit of it..imagine it's not too good on the belt and tranny.....nice to know that it will do it,though!

I did it on my fxdf and it scared the **** out of me at first. I was coming up a hill with a guy riding beside me and we got on it and the front wheel came up about the same amount and the dude was like that was bad *** so I played it off and said yah I know.
