Cant weelie ,driving me nuts
Gday wheelie kings and wanabs(like my self,...not being sarcastic)
Just come back from a ride and have snaped my rear fender off trying to practice wheelies :pissed:
Ive been conciously trying to master them for the last couple of days and must say that I have noticed an improvement and a few thing Iv learned (for those in the same boat) is -1- Get that front wheel up high as soon as possible.I like to crawl along in second and pop the clutch, that way Ive still got quite a bit of rev range to play with as opposed to just winding on the throttle which revs out to quick.
-2- Its much easier practicing on a slight incline so the balance point isnt so far back.
-3-Throttle control and coordination!(spelling?)
Anyways, Im just about to quit in frustration because I just dont seem to be getting anywhere any more except looping over and as I mentioned before, Iv already snapped my fender (which is enough to heat me up) and the last thing I want is to mince up my subframe or coolers.
Also, what i find myself doing alot, is once Im up i tend to veer off course on an angle and have to stab my foot down to save me and I just cant seem to get the"dab the rear brake" to help because my instinct is to put my feet out or when I manage to,its way too much :bang:
If I wasnt worried about breaking something on me or the bike I would be so determened and just stick at it but nothing ever goes as hoped for and I just seem to be stagnating :bang: what do i do! give up (No way!...a voice in my head tells me) or is there hope yet.I need some inspiration from you kings out there that have been where i am, felt the same frustration and have made it through with a big smile on there face(Its an awesome feeling,wheeling) .Oh yeah, dont tell me to stand as iv already tried....no way, just doesnt feel right.
I hope you guys/girls can help me out which Im sure you can and also, sorry for blabering on for so long.
Thankyou
Regards Ez
