Yea I shagged my rear wheel filming that!

[rsvmilly]

I can wheelie a crosser indefinitely - well in Vice City anyway

[rsvmille]

Wasn't there a bloke who wheelied the IOM in the 80's I think his name was David Taylor!

Oh, my PB is about half a mile i'd say. At anywhere between 100-120 mph in third...

About 15 to 20 seconds then?

[nutcase]

Yeah, I suppose so- maybe more as time seems to pass quickly (as does the road), but it certainly wasn't twelve minutes LOL. This was in France last year when we did Nogaro and there were endless straights with hardly any traffic...

I've been sitting behind Bennyboy before when i've actually got bored watching him up on one wheel at anywhere between 110-125mph. One of which was a good mile or so.

I thenkyou.

Actually, on a mountain bike I can wheelie pretty much indefinately; around roundabouts, that sort of thing.

Thats bloody un-beleavable!!!!

I cant get the front wheel off the ground for even a second on my XJ600 never mind staying up for 12 mins....that sounded really crude and way too long hehehe.

Jean Pierre Goy is the man

www.motorbyte.com/mmm/pages/2003/58/feature58_2.htm

"Jean Pierre retired from competition to pursue a career in stunt riding and performing. Many world records followed, including the longest wheelie ever recorded at 128 miles"

He also did a 382 ft rolling stoppie and is the guy that rode the BMW R1200 on the James Bond film - and whilst he can wheelie the beemer I doubt it could do a stoppie.
