Newbie from ATL

What's up fellas. My name is Mook aka Slick Mook. I live in the Atlanta area. I have owned a Suzuki TL 1000R(1st bike) a 00 Yamaha R1(2nd bike) and now I ride a 04 Gixxer 1000. This is my first GSXR and i love it! I have been learning wheelies for a couple of months now and I'm at the point where I can rock 1st and 2nd gear staggered. I started with first gear power ups then moved on to clutching. Just hit what i think was BP for the first time a couple of days ago. Here's my story.

A few days ago as i were on my ride home, when i got to my favorite street, (by the way is an extra 5 minutes out the way), I launched a 2nd gear clutch up staggered as I normally do.

I instantly felt like it would be a good one because it came up pretty smooth and controllable with no wobble.Well as i climb up, slowly but surely, I continued to stay on the throttle. All of a sudden the bike felt as though it were weightless in my grips and under me.

I backed off the throttle and was like, "OH ****" but being the greedy man that i am. My conscience told me not to set her down yet! So i gave her a lil more throttle and she climb higher again, back to the "OH ****" feeling. Although i was covering my rear brake, I backed off again then proceeded to set her down, why i don't know because i had about another half a mile of open road.

That's when I looked at my speed. I was at 98mph. Usually went i sit it down I'm around 110-115 which i don't like. I also noticed that i had rode it out a good bit longer than i usually do. Anyway, I gather that, I hit balance point those 2 times, which slowed me down a tad. Correct me if i'm wrong fellas.

Heres a short vid of me practicing stand ups. I know that i wasn't gettin high enough, but after my last couple of practices i now know where i should be. Or atleast close to being.
