My first wheelie

[hertsbiker]

...on the cruiser. Ok, only a tiny front wheel hoist, but definately a lift. Whooo hooo! didn't think it was possible... My faith has been restored. Accidental of course, when I was in the process of toasting a Porshe at the lights.

Can you post a pic of your 'cruiser'?

[jmorgan]

Done it on a tractor once

I've seen a picture of a Goldwing wheeling.
To see it live must be a sight to behold.
I also didn't think it was possible to wheelie a cruiser.

Thanks to Hertsbiker I do now

Hey Carl! Picture this...My kid bro riding the blade up the sliproad at 120mph on the back wheel with his mate hanging off waving at folks.... hes nuts.. very

Carl,

You have obviously found the way to get from 0-30 in less than 'instantaneously' (Your words not mine).

Good on you !!!!! Did you have the misses on the back as well ?

Well...I was at these lights in my Porsche and some nutter turns up on a Cruiser...next thing I know he's pulling a wheelie through the red lights and shouting "Can't wait to post this"

yep, both on board - I need to move the passenger back rest back a bit, as she is currently seated slightly in front of the rear wheel. Good for traction, but maybe too much weight over the front wheel... if you get my meaning.

Ginja, classic!

Bob, I've never have a bike that can take so many revs at pull away before without flipping. *Almost* makes up for it being so slow top speed wise.

Yup, I've found one way of keeping out of 3 figure speeds. Buy something that makes double figures seem like hard work!!

The best Gold Wing Moment that I have seen was a few years back while working on a construction site in South Africa. Our Site Agents wife comes screaming onto site on the Gold Wing, almost rips the door off his office, has a massive go at him then back onto the bike and as she leave the gate lifts the front for a good few meters. By the way she was also five months pregnant at the time. I've been carefull around pregnant woman ever since!

She was a real petrolhead though, when she needed a new car she made her husband drop a chevy small block into an old Merc 230. Lots of respect due.

I did a wheelie on a Mountfield rid on mower once, or twice. Its ok though it was a customers!

Bike wheelies are ok and respect for getting air on a cruiser but to see a car wheelie is something else.

hhhmmmm Santa Pod

I love the smell of nitro in the mornings
