Once again I find myself looking at a fellow Slappers pics and viewing them with seething jealousy that I'm nowhere near that level!

Not that I should be referring to these as "pics". Shots is a much better referral.

I've only ever pulled a wheelie once, accidentally. Don't people worry that they'll flip over and land on their back? I wish I could do it, but I'm hesitant to try it. Awesome photos by the way.

The last time I did an intentional wheelie (showing off at a set of lights in front of a hottie in a open top Merc) the chain came off and locked the back wheel!

Id love to learn to wheelie properly, Its one of them things I think I know how to do it, im just too cowardly to try it on my bike in case it goes wrong and costs me money (pain is temporary, debt isnt lol!)

Sounds fun, Tankslap day out.

I can power wheelie very easily, but not clutch. Although I believe power wheelies are mechanically easier on the bike, I still dont like doing them, as my bike goes through fork seals to quickly as it is :(

Never have wheeled. But the 675 lot did this and they came back saying it was great can't remember where it was though. I missed out on that day for some reason kicked myself when I saw the pics and vid haha!!

Not quite, she actually had to drive around me pushing a bike with a locked back wheel out of the box junction.

I did manage to get a look down her top though!
