So - THAT's what we're doing with the closed air bases? The first segment with the 636 looked like it was in a parking lot, though...

It's just a wee bit easier to learn this stuff on a dirt bike on soft(ish) ground, with unbreakable bike bits and wide bars. He gives some good tips but don't learn this stuff on the road with clip on bars and a monster motor. It'll cost you if you do.

Lean back and gas it.

Learning how to wheelie is the easy part. It's learning when to start rolling off of the throttle that's tricky.

Or shifting while in a wheelie. Forget it if you're on a pre-'06 Buell...CLUNK!!!

FYI - That was Dave Sonsky, formerly of the StarBoys, when he was working for the Brit mag SuperBike. He's currently stealing money as editor of TwoWheel Tuner.

Oh, big deal, I used to do wheelies all the time without even trying.
