Default Who Can Wheelie?
Title pretty much says it all, I'm just wondering who's raising the most hell on their dyna's. I can get the front wheel a couple feet off the ground but I haven't perfected it enough yet to "ride" it yet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYLmQ...eature=related

I can wheelie but nothing like these guys. My biggest problem is traction and I don't go out and try to wheelie. Can't be real good on the scoot. These guy gotta be having a blast.

wheeling starves the engine for oil,the oil all runs to the back of the oil tank/engine and nothing is pumped.. Japanese bikes have a bad problem with it,harleys are a lot worse by design

Sounds good, but I need to see some proof.

I have wheelied mine a few times just being a tool on the throttle and clutch having fun but I don't make it a habit. Engines cost too much.

Wheelies are for those that like to have their transmission main bearing go out, their compensator go out, final drive belt break, shift the pressed crank and other things so that they can bash HD for their inferior product on these forums.

Only immature morons do that behavior.
