It’s harder to get the right body position & fallowing a good line than popping a wheelie in my eyes.:lol One sit back on the seat not up on the tank two Grip the tank with your knees to avoid the slapper three I let off the throttle slowly to set the bike down easier. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-do-you-ride-thread/234806)._
