That's killer. I'd love to see somebody get the front up on a bagger and ride it.

There is a video of someone doing it on youtube. I almost cried.

Only immature morons do that behavior.
I don't believe a single statement that you made is true.

I also see nothing wrong with the guys getting together and seeing what they can do on a Harley. It's their bike and their skin. Personally, I admire their guts and skills.

I've wheelied a lot of bikes and never had a mechanical problem, nor bashed the manufacturer. I may have matured more now, but that just came with age, not in my mind and I'm certainly not a moron.

Loosen up, ih4x4, and stop worrying about what other people do on a deserted road. You sound like the kind of person that would call the cops if the neighbor's dog pooped in your yard.

Over several beers with EK a some years ago (1994?), he said he could still ride a wheelie. R.I.P. EK...

Dumping the clutch (clutch wheelie) and some serious *****. That's how you do it

Two ways to do it, using the motor's torque, if it has enough by stomping on the throttle going slow or by clutching it. Get your RPM's up and dump the clutch, if the clutch don't slip or tire spins up ya go.

Like I said before, this can't be good on the scoot, I can think of a number of items that probably don't care to much for wheelies.

Someone mentioned bagger wheelie, this guy rides a RG like a sport bike.

They had some motorcycle stunt crew at our local dealer, and they were doing it on tons of sportsters and crotch rockets, but no dynas or anything bigger.
