I know everyone likes the 12 and they are ******* sweet as hell! BuT Isn't anyone still doing highway/interstate/backroad 80 -120 mph wheelies anymore?!?!?!?! No one just float a nice long *** wheelie in 3rd gear sittin about 180 km/h anymore???? I did my longest wheelie the other day and I was thinking in my helmet why no one talks about these wheelies anymore..yeah yeah they are easier but they are fun as hell too!!!

 

Hell yeah I still do standups. I ride them all the way to my spot where I practice my 12's (if you can want to call them that)

 

yeah but when you ride 12's you can crash and enjoy it. not always , if ever, the case at high speeds.

i crash like twice a day. still have both original levers!!

 

I'm always afraid of oil starvation, and I cant get a damper to fit my bike so I do my best to keep em slow.

 

It's been a while since someone came up with a new stunt involving a normal wheelie. Boston Strangler was the last one, am I right?

 

i haven't found the balance point but i'm rocking rear peg standups around 1/2 mile ( i don't do regular standups because of a mental block from falling off my 98 gixxer 6 and breaking my collar bone and haveing a plate and screws put in) it just feels better to me on the rear pegs

I love hittin up the highway every once in a while, but it's just so much more sketchy than practicin 12's in a parking lot where you never get fucked with. Way to many pigs on the freeway around here.

 

Everyone still normal wheelies, whenever we're not at a stunting place. 12's are my personal favorite, but whenever i'm just riding i can't help throwin it up on the highway! As for new tricks, there are lots of them. For regular wheelies it's all about combos now and moving around on the bike. Also, what about standing on the tank wheelie (Chauncey was the first i saw do it). Everyone is also about variation 12's now too! Man, you're makin me realize i need to go practice!!!!

 

Watch Servin it Up... Darius will blow you mind with his highway wheelies! DISGUSTING!

 

i like to do the long wheelies but i try to go slower i ride mine about 50 mph with the long high speed wheelies its just a matter of time until u reck and when u do its not such a pretty site i think most of the guys on here are vets and they know what happens with high speed wheelies shuggs said to watch daruis's new movie if u like them but i think i read a interview that said he is trying to slow down but u can ask him that the last time that i went down at 90-110 i broke my back in two places and like the other guy said anyone with a GSXR 1000 can bullet wheelie LOL

 

slow wheelies are harder to do, take time to master and show awsome bike control. I also think they look better too. Highway wheelies are fun too, but when it all boils down, slower are better and safer! IMO:D

 

I've watched it a couple times now! That highway wreck is nasty!
