A few wheelie shots from Donington TSGB

fab.

Great pics there fella :-)

Nice work

Nice pics Jack

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.

I've not wheelied for a few years now. Nothing intentional anyway.

I

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!)

Me too. Wheelie school one year I think.

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

I get 3 or 4 inches of air quite frequently when I ride my sons R1

Definatley, been wanting to do it for ages bit got no1 to go with so sounds like a plan!

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!!

Well lets organise a slapper wheelie day! Will be awesome

Prob get a discount if booking as a group too so woUlf be well worth it. I can't remember where they did theirs. If a new thread is started for one I'd be really up for it :-)

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!
