Default Did my first today.
Rode my first wheelie today. Wasnt very high or for very long. It made me fall in love with my sporty all over again. I was in a parking lot, I dont plan to do this a lot or out on the streets. After I saw stunt riders on harley I thought it was just badass! lol anyways have a great day ride safe

My wheelie days are 40 years in my rear view mirror, but I remember the thrill of it. I also remember popping it too far and having it go over. Be careful. And I sure wasn't doing it on anything as heavy as a Harley.

While I like to consider myself a wheelie king, I have never brought the fatboy up, nor do I plan to. That is what the GSXR Sportbike is for. Ok, I may not be the king, but I can go 1-4 gear and set the front tire down about 120 MPH?

Anyway congrats! thats a heavy bike to wheelie.
