Ha yeah right....ive never been able to 'Do proper wheelies' that well, but today just seemed to work it out.
Its not hard to get it up, it's the keeping it up for a long time without it going beyond the point of no return.
Not sure who this idiot is? but it's not Carl Fogarty. Rider having a go, not at all being a pro from a long time ago. Some first wheelies 0:38 not sure I'd call them proper but in fairness it's before Facebook and before people were wheeling in circles at every stunt competition, and before so many wheelie schools popped up, circa 2000-2001-ish.. the date on the clip, is when it was swapped from one type of out of date format to the next.
Nottingham, yesterday, watched some tw@t wheelie through traffic lights on red, pedestrian crossing on green man, with people crossing. Utter tosser.
One of my best boyhood memories was a fella on a 350 YPVS wheelieing from the lights and right down the road, busy place. I thought it was epic
Years ago, on my tuned ZX7R on approaching lights i 'accidentally pulled a half decent power wheelie' , pulled by bike cop was told, listen sunny you're NOT carl fogarty Keep it in the pants lad, off you go.....
