A wheelie on a Dyna is impressive. A stoppie on a Dyna would be even cooler.

I'm lame!!!

I tap the front brake slightly to preload the front end and slip the clutch as I gas it and it pulls the front end up pretty easily. With that being said I'm no wheelie expert as I'm nowhere near the Unknown Ind. boys level....Heck when it feels like I've gotten the front end up pretty high and review the GoPro mine are LAME AS HELL and are nothing compared to those boys!

Stupid video I threw together the other day!

Keep on hating I LOVE IT....That just means I'm doing something right! On a side note I was flipping the bird to a local motorcycle apparel shop that SUCKS and every time I ride or drive past that place I flip them the bird! So get over yourself and your "Oh I'm being brought down buy the other guy" attitude!

Did a wheelie once in 2nd gear. came from a stop sign while turning right, the person infront of me slowed down, so i did too. I pulled the clutch in to go into second but didnt realize i was still giving it throttle, when i popped the clutch the front end came right up. at the next stop i checked my pants for lumps.

I used to ride dirt bike wheelies for long periods until I got bored, going around curves, upshifting and downshifting, riding on my knees, standing up, etc.

But my most memorable wheelie was about 30 years ago on a friend's Kaw 750 triple two stroke. He didn't tell me the throttle cable sometimes stuck right when it hit the two stroke powerband. I pulled onto a highway in front of oncoming traffic and gassed it, the front end came up and I rode a wheelie through 4 gears from necessity before I could get the throttle unstuck and drop the front end (by which time I was probably doing over 100mph.) That thing was a scary and vicious bike.
