when they say learn the rear brake, they mean learn how to use it to control a wheelie.... not just how to use it while riding on two wheels

 

Except me, I've usually avoided using the rear just out of bad habits.

 

durrrrrr...

uh yeah I kinda already know that much, but thanks!

 

wow. i think i got my situation from page 2 remedied.

 

anytime, haha... but knowing how to use it on 1 wheel is a totally different skill set then knowing how to use it on 2 wheels

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

 

Yes I know, that makes perfect sense, but I think the people who are truly having a pretty difficult time with it likely tended to not utilize it in their other riding skill sets either. That's pretty much what I guess I was getting at.

 

ain't trying to start **** with you again, but everyone has a difficult time with it

 

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.

 

learn on a fiddy or 125 first. you will save yourself alot of time and pain.

 

I'm glad someone bumped this old thread because i never seen it and there is alot of information here .

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

 

I learned how to use rear break on a three wheeler it's so easy cause you don't have to worry about falling over just forward and backward. Abd than aftr that it's cake to take it to a bike

 

loop it and catch it..... learned that one from wheeliest.

 

i rode dirt bikes for years before i was ever even on a street bike. i know that helped out alot. i learned BP on stock gearing 2001 929 (my first street bike) in just a month or so

 

been doin O's since I was 2 yrs old

 

this thread is madd old.. and the kid who started it has been doing O's for a whiiiiile now.. lol maybe like 2yrs or more i believe.

 

learned on an atv then learned on a sport bike. Nothing ******* transfers over for me for some reason. ******* **** is retarded.

I hate myself for being 1 dimensional!

 

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.

 

wink1100 did it and i couldn't believe it , then a local dude in CT( Andy Globes) was roomer d to be rockin slow wheelies, so then i tryed it, took me for ever!!! as for u Matt Gorka, don't u worry we all wanted to be u . i do believe u will go down in the books, and be remembered for a long long time!!!!!!!

 

There's no other kind of wheelie to be done on a 150cc bike... lol
