I've got a good question!

Ok so I was just thinking earlier today, and now its got me really wondering.

Who was it that thought about turning up the idle on bikes to be able to do slow wheelies?

Does anybody seriously know, I was thinking it was accidentally discovered, kind of like when Kyle Woods accidentally made up the ape hanger trick...So who actually came up with the idle idea???

We'll I think Chauncey was the first one I saw doing no throttle hand. But most probably learned it at the WSRC in ohio.

ahh, see that was my 2nd theory after I was thinking about it. I figured someone wanted to do a no handed wheelie and so they thought about the idle being turned up...Can anyone back this up? I seriously wanna know who was the INNOVATOR that thought about doing the idle "mod"...

Re: I've got a good question!

Take a close look at the end of the left hand forks on all his motorcycles too, there is an electric motor mounted there keeping the front wheel spinning
