How do I wheelie?

[Prof Prolapse]

I tried to wheelie in my CBR 600F a year or two ago. I returned home on a trailer, and spend £100 the following day on a new clutch. So I don't think I was doing it properly.

I now have GXSR-750 (+/- "Gixxer"), and I wonder how would I go about trying to wheelie it?

First you have to take all of your safety gear off apart from your helmet. Apparently the reduced weight makes it much much easier.

Then, once you're in full squid mode you just pull the clutch in in second, bang it off the limiter, and then dump the clutch back out. Also, don't worry about covering the rear brake it's total bullst.

I trust what you say because it's clear you have my best interests at heart.

1. Did you REALLY expect a serious answer??

Nah. I have enjoyed it so far though!

I disagree with you, watch the video that I posted, those guys are professional stunters. The clutch technique is the correct way and works with any bike.

Is that the one where they dress like failed rappers?

I never realised I was prejudice until I saw that.

Prolapse let's go to wheelie school together.

I too want to wheelie as I can't do it worth a fk. And I'm too st afraid to do anything other than a stey power wheelie

After another failed evening, yeah I'm well up for that.

Phone isn't working until tomorrow but give us a text/call then.

Like this Prof?

That's the dream boss. I intend to drill a hole in my lid for tabs though.

I agree about the clutch thing. Last night I had a go at this power wheelie business, I got the front wheel just up twice but only in first. But even my lame attempts were felt pretty brutal.

I cant find any in Scotland, engerland seems a long way to go to get my front end up.. but i'm game, lets go via oulton

Yeah I saw one in the North West England but that was it. £150, 1200 bandit with bars. Max 4 per bike. Still looking though.

As you say, most of them seem to be in London/Surrey but the idea of flying down special seems a bit tragic.

[Prof Prolapse]

They seem happy enough.... Perhaps a little too happy actually...

+1 if we're all going to have a PH wheelie day.

Although I feel like we're encroaching on Prolapse and MTB's 'special time'

All we do is smoke fags and argue anyway... As much as I'd love to do a PH session, it's a bit of a hassle to go that far into Englandshire. Once you get to Brum, with no bike to bring, you're better off flying, and then it all becomes a much for what would just be a bit of banter.

Statler can't speak on behalf of Waldorf, but I would think he's of the same opinion.

ya'll don't need a "wheelie school". If you want to get together and practice wheelies just go to a big car park FFS. How do you think people learnt before the advent of wheelie schools?

Yeah that would be great, a bunch of aging professionals spread throughout the country congregating in a McDonalds car park somewhere North of London. The blind leading the registered blind overseen by the fking delusional.

Perhaps I can wear my sideways baseball cap and hip-hop styled "stunter" jacket. I can hunt for bding pokemon whilst I'm doing it.

Or, as informed adults, we could just go to an organised event we're happy and able to pay for, drink tea, and take it for what it is.

b) I'm home earlier and drunkerer than expected.
c) The Vietnamese girls aren't as pretty as you'd think
d) the fact I can type thiw is is a fking miracle in itself
e) spelling mistales may or may jot be the responsibility of Mrrs Schmirnoff. I dunno..

To Mrs Modified car enthusiastic fktard.

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart. fk off.
You're a chop.
You have nothing of value to addm no experience and no humour.
So do us all, or ke at least, the decency to take your stupidly elsewhere.
Please, for allmour sakes.
You're making yourself look a . Don't.
I'm drunk, but I look less of a than you.

How's that for a thrwad closer!!!!
C'mon, we're all thinking it...

Booyaka..... Saigon oooooot!

fking hell, and he's the smart one around here.

I have this bit nailed.

[Prof Prolapse]

Dunno. I just got back from the vets in Fife with a £6,000 vet bill so I'll give you a shout tomorrow once I've worked out if I can remove one of my kidneys...

[Prof Prolapse]

Believe it or not it's actually great news. I'd been told he was needing two hips and two knees at a rough cost of £14,000 + VAT. Saw the surgeon yesterday and he is confident he's "just" ruptured his cruciates (seems more serious in dogs), so that means we're down to £3,000 a side. The first knee is hopefully covered by insurance.

More important than money, "TPLO", is a fairly major surgery but carries a 95% success rate. Prognosis is almost 100% of previous activity, which sounds almost too good to be true. He goes under the knife for the first knee this morning.

[Prof Prolapse]

I think in practice with dogs, if you have one, you do everything to look after them and financial acumen goes out the window.

Besides, I've just trained him to jump at my mate's balls on command. It's fking hilarious.

[Prof Prolapse]

He just assumed you were here to steal our DVD player.
