I thought this was a cool thing......Just wandering would this really help you learn a real world wheelie? Couldnt get busted then and you could practice anytime you wanted.

sure.. as long as real world wheelies aren't affected by wind, road condition, other riders/drivers/crap coming into your path of travel, etc. the answer is "yea, it would help SOMEWHAT". I imagine it would probably be very nice to learn throttle control on, and then step up to powering them on the street.

Re: wheelie simulator machine thing in FL

1)He said $50k...but hey, it has a dyno??????
2)If I worked my 954 up as hard as that dude, it would SPLAT!!!!! It isn't practical to learn, aspinning drum deom a standstill and pavment are two completly different things.... but I'd sport one for parties or sell people rides on it?????

Re: wheelie simulator machine thing in FL

what I was tryin to say was maybe you could get the feel of your bikes balance point, then you learn the real deal

Anyone that thinks while starting to learn wheelies u couldnt learn somethin from this is wrong. Sure things will be different when u step it up to the real thing but u can practice throttle control and brake control. Think about when u learned to ride a pedal bike with training wheels! Was that not good practice cause u couldnt tip over?

Secondly what a pimp ride for a drunken party!!!! :YEAH

Re: wheelie simulator machine thing in FL

check this out,
I was thinkin of using a automobile rim as the roller.. It would be mounted on a junkyard rear axle.. You could cut the axle in half and that exposed spider gear flange could be a place where you'd mount your 45lbs freeweights.
INERTIA is key..

I think there should only be a LIGHT brake on the dynos. The rollers gotta have a ton of inertia to clutch up the front, you should be able to bolt on 45lb freeweights onto the rollers..

if there was a brake on it, it would be like riding a wheelie up a steep hill.... that would make for an artificially low balance point.. you might dump it when riding the real ****. You need resistance to clutch up the front, but if it drags too much, you won't feel that floaty balance point.

Re: wheelie simulator machine thing in FL

That thing was pretty damn pimp! :YEAH Look like a blast too. I've seen one guy try it, and he couldn't walk after he got off! But as far as "learning how to wheelie" on it, I think it would be a step backward. If you "learned" how to wheelie on that, you would most definatly fall flat on your *** in the real world.

They also told me "No filming"...

Okay first off, WHAT THE ****!?!!! NO FILMING?? IT'S FRIGG'EN STUNTWARS, EVERYONE'S FILMING!! EVEN MTV!

Fortunatly, I got enough footage and photo's to include in my **FREE** stuntwars video I'm making and to build one of my own. Which I just might do now.

Re: wheelie simulator machine thing in FL

the only problem i see whith the whole setup is how many times do you bring up a 12 and the bike comes straight up. the what that is set up you could have five fat b!tches eatin cheese burgers on the left pegs and still clutch a wheelie strate up and ride it out without having to worry about falling to the left or right mabe i am talking out of my a$$ but i think that the only thing you will help with that contraption is throdle control. pimp *** idea and i kinda wanna jump on it just to see what it would feel like! :YEAH if they ever bring it to wisconsin HOLLA!

just my

Well i definietly didn't see no damn combos, i was yelling at the dude do'n the demo to do sum high chair stuff too. The guy was too scurrd
The idea was kinda cool, but it really dosen't teach you anything, it just keeps you from falling over.
