[ST] RE:Getting it Up

"man what is wrong with my bike, with 19 mine comes up in 1st only with the
clutch.
with 18 if my tank is near empty, on the gas, just. but in 2nd there is just
no way.  im not a newbie at this either, i used to pull 120 mph on the rear
with my old ZX-11."

I have a 99 with the 18 tooth. If I bring the RPMs up smoothly to about 6
or 6.5 grand and then whack the throttle open, you get a nice big wheelie. I
am 6'1" and 215lbs, so I do not lack traction. I have not tried this in
second as I am trying not to go hog wild. (I personally am a '57 model, and
perhaps no so invincible anymore).  So, yes. I like to get it up too.
Doesn't everyone?
