iceman Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Alright, I have been practicing wheelies with two strokes, I can get it up and ride it for a while on the banshee now, so I decided I wanted to get vertical, like my dads friend, who has been riding for 20 years, that was my mistake, I got vertical, and held on for about 2 secs and it shot out and I fell off, I have road rash all over my back and arms, definitely worth the paine to have that experience, very funny.

iceman Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Yeah I can balance them for about 10 feet almost hitting the bar now, amazing what practicing all evening can do. The sitting down ones I can balance further, which doesn't make sense to me, I'm havin fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 The only wheelies i can do are going fast and i cant say up long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I've just been rolling forward in 1st or second, pulling the clutch in, rev up and drop the clutch. Someone called the cops again though, I wish whoever is doing would come talk to me instead of calling the cops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Banshee's are hard to learn wheelies on,because of the balance point being so far back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 yeah, I can't wheelie worth a shit on my kx because its so high, when I pick the front wheel up just a little bit it feels way high. I'm glad the banshee is low to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRIAN BANSHEE Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 i was doing one about 2 weeks ago in my driveway, and (hanging head in shame) i let my bike get away from me, and ran my brother clean over almost breaking his leg, when i found out he was alright we laughed our asses off!!!!!!!!

shee screams Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 I did my best wheelie last week, then I tryed it again and went back to far, I didn't hit the rear brake in time and drug the bar bending it up and tearing off the tial light and plate holder, I was just happy I didn't drag the silencers, that would have been pricey!

moto4man350 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 there's only two types of riders, those that have crashed and those that are going to crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudDuck Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Ive just started to get the use to doing wheelies. Man there a blast. It helped that i was in the sand and hitting the bar. But after falling off a few times i just learned to keep holding on and tapping the back break to control how far it comes up. Still can only ride them for a few few seconds though.

fromygod Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 if u get a nice wide grab bar, i think mine is PRM, its not nearly as prone to "digging in". unfortunately i broke the rear subframe so i'm not even attempting wheelies now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy250man Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 yeah about six months ago i was showing off on my best friends little brothers xr 80, doing knee wheelies (sport bike style!!!) and i had it down where i could ride vertical ones for 1/8 mi or so, down his long flat country road, well long funny story short, took it back and broke my thumb in 2 places, im lucky i was going about 20-25 mph w/out a helmet and the township just paved the road 2 hr. before so it was still sticky hot, well i slide down the rooad about 10ft. and the bike flipped twice, i was covered in road rash and a broken thumb, i walked away lucky, but im still doing it all today so.... "u never learn!", i also managed to stabb my self in the glory region with my belt, i guess it hooked up in to the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
