Re: Who thinks they have the best spreaders???
kinda like when your jus learning right???? as in rev a lil higher each time you clutch it until its comin to where you want it to be right...is the bp of a SS a lil more forward then staggered?? im jus tryin to feel this out before i go home and attempt it lol

i feel so bunched up on the 600rr when i put my feet on the seat...but im sure the comfort feeling just comes in time!!!!

Because there is no sense in getting fucked up if you can avoid it.

Throttle control can still be learned just fine with a handbrake.

just keep your RPM's up and you will be fine! and it is best to get it down W/O a HB... all though I would be lost with out mine now! but I did all of it for 3 years w/o one!

WRONG!!

The HB is there for safety.. You don't HAVE to use it to do the wheelie just cuz it's there, if you want to practice it using the throttle control and engine brake you can. Just keep it covered incase you make a mistake, since people here are learning right?? All it takes is a little blip of the throttle while past the BP reguardless if your at high rpm or not to loop especially when you havn't done them before and you don't have good throttle control.

Or use gearing since everyone seems to have that anyways.
Those pics are from about 2 months after my first wheelie.
I'm not against handbrakes - I'm against people saying they can't do stuff without one(I'm talking basics).

A bike CAN NOT wheelie without a cage, 12bar, handbrake, ez pull lever, and a subcage.
