How to learn to wheelie

[phillvr6]

Put my dad on the back of your bike. Had my mum and dad stay over the weekend so took my dad out on the back of the bike on Saturday morning.

The girlfrind rides pillion from time to time without a problem but my dads a fair bit heavier.

So off we go and hes sat bolt upright on the back holding the handles. We get behind a van on a national speed limit road and I decide to go for the overtake as I normally would. Get to the side of the van and just as the vtec kicked in at 7k, up comes the front wheel. Throttled off slightly and it came down smoothly.

Got him to took in behind me and put his weight forward a bit more after that. Still had to work hard to keep the front wheen down though.

Is he wheelie heavy?

Pillion wheelies are great fun, and oh so easy!! Tip though: don't try hoiking it up over humpback bridges at three figure speeds with a pillion - you may take off and, upon landing, find that your pillion is sat on the drivers seat, and you're sat on the tank
