Wondering about BP

I know that its a lame question and that everyone says that u will know once you get there but i was just wondering if someone could tell me roughly what the angle is EG (65 degrees) when doing a wheelie? I have finally got used to riding them out sitting down in first and 2nd and i can do 1st and 2nd stand ups and i was practicing tank wheelies yesterday and i was getting the front up a couple of feet for mayb 20 or 30 metres? It feels like im still chasing the bike a little and therefore im not sure how much higher i have to go? i have a few pics so if someone could have a look and tell me if i need to get it up another foot, two feet that would be much appreciated? Cheers grandmasterb

You'll know whn you hit BP. Trust me, there's no other way to help you.Every time you hit it, it will scare the **** out of you.

Re: Wondering about BP

I think it depends on how you get there. If you're coming up under a lot of power and don't roll off right it can scare the hell outta you. If you clutch it up right and it's right near BP and you just raise it the last little bit with easy throttle then it's golden

I've had them give me a quick heart jump when I didn't get em up high enough coming off the clutch and stayed in the gas hard to bring it the rest of the way up (when I prolly should have abandoned the attempt ). That last :15 goes quick if you're not already rolling off

hel yeah, its like floating, you dont feel the bike under you anymore, its almost like flying in a plane....you will be able to keep the throttle barely open and just extend your arms and float it out...your rpms wont climb, they should actually drop a little.

Re: Wondering about BP

Hey you guys were right. I was out practicing this morning and instead of backing off i gave it a little more and what do you i found BP. The G-spot of wheelies if you will. It was awesome, i didn't want to come home, just stay out there all day and night and start busting out some stuff. You still can't wipe the smile off my face. What a buzz. Thanks for the advice guys. Got a few more pics that i'll post when i get them developed and i recon you will see the difference!!!! Cheers grandmasterB :YEAH
