I thought it was pretty cool. I guess I can be accused of riding like a dick on the very rare occasion.
I like how he leaned back and put that front wheel right up in the air. He was going about 25 mph when he lifted so I bet he didn't really hold the clutch and full it at 5200...
Whatever. Thanks for sharing, Tom.
That is Kade Gates from Unknown Industries. Check out "Harley Wheelies" or Unknown Industries on YouTube. Those guys have some talent or some might say no brains lol. I just think it's cool seeing it done with a Harley. If you get a chance to watch one of their many videos you'll see pretty much the entire group rides that way together 99% of the time. They travel the country doing shows as well.
I love watching these, I'm torn on the whole it's irresponsible vs the rush of it. I would like to know how modified they are and I've never seen one drag the back fender like this without going over completely. I haven't seen a good wheelie on the street in 10+ years.
