first highway wheelie

I did exactly what everyone has been telling me forever. It finally worked. I had to go all the way down to second and then juice it good, but it came up. I think I need daylight for my first few though. I lost all concept of where I was. That was cool as **** though!!!!!

Congrats Bro! Second is the gear to do! If you change your gearing a little, you can use third and not have to slow down as much, plus third gear will go forever!

Oh, and daylight is much better!

Nice. Just be careful - you know our friends friends don't like them as much as we do... they told me so on Sunday.

Nice...what i find best for highway wheelies is pop it up at top of second and shift real quick into third right as you get it to balance point or a little before....then you really dont have to worry about running out of gear or tacking the ish out of your bike. Good luck!

thanks guys

I'll have to try to kick it up a gear before running out of tach next time. Good advice cause it doesn't stay up long enough. Thanks for the props Kyle. Confidence goes a long way, and hearing **** like that helps for sure! I'm sure I'll catch you around more often. But I'm all set with everyone hatin on me cause of doin burnouts so I think i learned my lesson.

Thanks for the advice Silent1, I'm sorry man I forgot your name. Probably cause you're silent, lol, jk guy!
later
k-man

ps... do you powershift into 3rd or clutch it?

just work on bringing the bike up in 3rd on the highway, that way you dont have to worry about shifting.

also, when learning them, night time is probably not the best because its harder to judge how high your bike is.

point 1:
'granny shifting' huh? Did you steal that phrase from Vin Deisel in fast and the flamboyant?

point 2:
What the hell are you doing up this early? Are you on drugs boy?
