If I were you I would start by doing a big ol smokey burn out to heat up the reat tire... its prolly going to need it. Then Id find big bertha at the local Wal-Mart and toss her on the back for some added traction, Theeeen Id rev the motor up to oh about 6 or 7 grand with the clutch in and the bike in 1st gear. Next just dump the clutch and lean back a little to coax it up but once it's up you can just keep bliping the throttle to keep that front tire hanging. Once you master that then you can start working on shifting in a wheelie and waving to the crowds as you pass by. [sm=groupwave.gif]

with all the attention for reckless operation and LEO's impounding vehicles (reckless operation can be given on private property in most states) not sure why I would want someone to tow my bike. but once you accomplish the wheelie trick let us know how a "stoppie" is performed on a HD

Rev it to the limits and then dump the clutch.[
]After you heal,fix your bike and ride it as it was designed.

I love my chrome to much for something like that. Plus it took to long for my butt to get the sag that it has I am not ready to part wtih it just yet.

Get a rolling start,,, pull in clutch,, rev the motor way up,,, dump the clutch,, pull hard on the bars at the same time and hang on,,, throttle control is now very important,,, if you get too far back,, tap the rear brake,,, above all you will probably crash at some point,,, make sure insurance is up to date,,, it's that simple.
