This is not a stunt video. We know we do mediocre wheelies (hence practice) and we know wheelies are stupid and dangerous. ENJOY!! [youtu.be/zqFileKr9KY](https://youtu.be/zqFileKr9KY) ---

Who’s on the RC? Looks like someone has a nice track in the backyard. Suprized I didn’t see more 3 wheel or 50cc? wheelies as those shoulda been cake. Poor Buell :lol And while it’s all fun and games a wheelie in the on coming lane into a blindlike turn can’t end well. ---

I thought he did and I don’t think I have ever seen Sully do a wheelie…but I know the giraffe does… Picture of said giraffe on a early in the year ride we were on a few years ago.

Def not them. You would have heard two twins, an RC and a Tiller (TL). and the RC has no problems getting that wheel to come up, verified by yours truly. ---

Not doing any wheelies on streetbikes, sorry. Give me a dirtbike and I’m game, lol. RC’s suck for wheelies on stock gearing. (Ask Matt S, If he can’t wheelie it,no one here can.) ---

I felt bad picking on the Buell guy too, but he sure tried like hell! As for the 3 wheeler, death trap. My friend jeff had a broken twist throttle on it that went WOT in any direction! I actually have road rash from it but no camera was rolling unfortunately. ---

yea this was deff not my best work… first time out for the year and realized the tire guys had 42 psi in my rear tire, 30 psi=much more stable. thing was following every crack in the road at 42… anyways i didnt buy it for that. but gives you something to do on straights i can say the gearing is not the best for it, im only 1 up in the back and its sweet spot is about 75 in 2nd… really the only place it likes to be. i want to gear it 1 down 2 up so its better all around, but dont want to mess with speed and mileage. ---

You’re still the man to go with on a fun ride. Typically properly geared, and fun on the straights as well as twisties. Down to just 1 RC now right? ---

Sweet! More time to dedicate to the other bike project! Also if you know a day in advance you’re planning on riding, let me know I’ll see if I got it off. Sundays are typically good and every other Sat. ---
