Home of the First Wheelie

Re: Home of the First Wheelie
I grew up on a dirt road and saw some awesome wheelies (probably not by today's standards but they were badass then) in the early 80's by a bunch of hoodlums riding old style twin shock dirt bikes.

Re: Home of the First Wheelie
July 2003 got my first bike and lisence after returning from Iraq. Had the bike shipped from home to So Cal where I was stationed at the time. Sometime a month or so later I was meeting up at a local bike dealership for a sun ride, which at the time for the last month was all on 2 wheels. Halfway dn Coast Highway heading tword San Diego a guy on a ZX9 and an F4i pull up standups for miles. I was like WTF. I was amazed and didn't even know that high BP wheelies at that distance were even possiable. After that day my life was forever changed..

Re: Home of the First Wheelie
I can't remember that far back! I remember trying to do poppawheelies on my 88 Katana when I was 19. That turd had K&N's, stage 3 jet kit and V&H Pipe and wouldn't get out of it's own way! haha Then I had a stretched GSXR 1100 that would carry the front wheel about 6" halfway down the track. Then I got a Busa and had saw 12 O'clock and C&I 1 and learned 2nd gear power sitdowns. Been hooked every sense!

Re: Home of the First Wheelie
I cant remember the first wheelie ive ever seen, but i have two wheelies i remember that changed my life.
One of em was back in like...2000 i guess, me and a friend were rolling a convertable and gave this dude a peace sign on a bike next to us and he did a little sit down power wheelie. We freaked out, after that we both had to get bikes.
Then in like 2002 sometime i saw brock xxx do a 12 on US-1, bring it back and ride a slow wheelie for about 1/4 mile around a curve...madness.

Dirt Bike.. KX500. Riders name was Paul. Rode out miles along the highways.
Its funny though, cause I just got this WR400, took it offroad and all these 125 riders were trying to wheelie. Had to bust out the skillz!!
