Wheelies are for peeps with half a ton of lead attached on their right wrist

Jeans , trainers and a ruksac full of electronic hardware?

..... or riders of Aprilia V-twins .... you don't have to be at all heavy handed for the front wheel to come up in the first 2 gears - either by choice or just as a result of 'making progress'

.... just what are you suggesting Gio? My right wrist is nowhere near my pants.
Has "Pulling a Wheelie" just become a euphamism?

Must be sometimes

Only bikes I can think you have to literally pull a wheelie on are the heavyweight 125's. most bikes poduce enough power to do it without assistance.

A day spent at wheelie school makes you appreciate them.

Never pulled a wheelie yet - if I did, it wouldn't be lead in my pants

Might give it a go later if I make it out - see you in the next life

Don't need wheelie school on the GS, it lifts with a tiny twitch of the throttle

Combine a Falco with 15-43 gearing and at about 3,000 rpm the front is lifting... how long and how many gears you go through depends on you and the conditions and where you are of course (hopefully on a ahem... private road)

Basically apart from junctions and corners the front wheel could live in the air for a long long time. .

I love wheelies, those that hate them are those that can't do em (IMHO)

I don't like wheelies, but I can do them, however as you say, ahem on a private road if you must.

I've done it on a 100cc 2-stroke!
