Balance point question???????????
So this dude told me the fast wheelies have a lower balance point because of the wind resistance aginst the bike, so I was wondering if I added sails,like boat sails, if the balance point would be even lower??

this it how I see it

Re: Balance point question???????????
the guy is right.. not about the wind resistance .. but a 100mph wheelie would not be as high as a idle wheelie.. its the inertia .. that effects it.. not soo much the wind

the sails are funny though
