And what have you learned that makes you want to learn more? I am still working on beating the Longest knee in the seat on a Texas highway. Riding with Greg helps alot.

Re: i like that feeling when something clicks
after 4 months of riding, wheelies have finally clicked for me and yes it is a great feeling, i "rocked our lot" today, by that i mean i ran outa room to do a wheelie and had to set it down. That was the greatest feeling in the world because just 4 months ago i was having problems riding 2 parking spaces long haha.
Also did a few "spreaders" my tank isnt dented in so i kinda gotta grip the bike with my thieghs so i dont slide down so i cant get the full affect, but i rode a couple of that bad boys out for quite a ways, i was pumped.

Re: i like that feeling when something clicks
yup, clutching up first
you gotta give it alittle more ***** then when your doing a regular standup because your sitting so far forward but once it comes up you just gotta stay on the throttle till you get near bp. I havent brought them to BP yet because my ***** are that big haha. And ive slid off the tank twice doing spreaders and thats not a fun situation.
Edit: Oh and yesterday i was watching my shadow to see how high i was bringing the bike up it was pretty cool hehe. Id say the length i rode it out for was near 150 ft.
