The best thing I can suggest is first gear. You'll be going slow so you won't get hurt if you wreck, and plus it'll rev out super quick if you don't learn to balance it, then all other gears will be easy.

Nevermind. I don't even do any wheelies above 50mph. I don't think you realize the damage you can do to yourself and your bike at speeds in excess of 90mph especially in a loop.
