just cause they had to "learn" how to use it on 1 wheel, doesn't mean they didn't know how to use it on 2

Yeah you're probably right. I know I can't say a whole lot from experience on the matter yet, so we'll have to see when my time comes. I'll try to remember to post up here afterwards. Thanks for being cool this time btw. I knew you had it in ya.

Re: Poll- How did you learn slow wheelies?
I went to a bike show in ft lauderdale(probably 2002), at fuddruckers, saw some dude on an all black furred out 900rr. He left the show and hit a 12 on the street, that **** changed my life, didn't even know it was possible to wheelie like that before then. All ive ever wanted to do since then was have that kind of control over my bike...
I didn't even have a bike at the time, within a week i got a job and saved up for my first bike.
I didn't even have a bike at the time, within a week i got a job and saved up for my first bike.
This is the same way i felt around summer of '05 . I never realized that it could be done on a sportbike .
I seen it done on dirtbikes as a kid , but thought the weight of a big bike would never work .
Riding through the 90's on an f2 , all we ever did was power wheelies . It was who ever can ride it the longest , was the best .
Never crashed during a wheelie , but crashed in turns draggin knees . Until the 929 wheelie accident . I was off the bike awhile after that .
Then i seen Road Rash 2 and 3 dvd in '05 , and said that's where i wanna be in life .
Started with the fiddy . And it helped alot of getting the fear of crashing out of your head .
So now it is big bike time , and all i here is the f4i is the best . But to me it seems bigger and heavier than an f2 or f3
I was so comfortable on my old f2 , i want to get another so i am more confident . But everyone says it stalls at 12 because of the carbs .
Then i watch insane J's videos and he is killin an f2 . Is there something you have to do to it so it doesn't stall ?
Or should i go with a f4i I know this is a bike/carb question , but i think it relates to the braking thread because in slow wheelies ,
the last thing you want is for a bike to stall .
Thanks for any input on the f2 question

Re: Poll- How did you learn slow wheelies?
I learned on my 400ex quad...clutching it from a dead stop and learning brake control was HELLA easy on it....then I learned to slow them down on the highway on my stock 954...I could get to where i could speed them up to around 75 or 80 and slow then way back down to around 35 (stock gearing second gear)....just started to feel natural.

Re: Poll- How did you learn slow wheelies?
Wink 1100 video. Never seen a 12 before....I've never been the same since. Probably THE most influential moment of my life (can only hope something I do will have this effect on at least one person before I croak) seeing it on tape. Rewound it 100 times. Never had a teacher or even saw it in person. Took me an ENTIRE summer to learn. My First scrape ever can be seen on Colbert's original Judgement Day. Came down sideways, hammered my heel into the pavement and limped proudly for 2 weeks. If I had to give up everything I know on a bike and only be able to save 1 trick, it would hands down be a standard seated 12. Rocking 30 mph on the street looking into someone's window, seeing the disbelief on their face and then riding off feeling like a hero..... You can keep the rest.
