RE: [ST] Wheelies

["Masiak, Richard" <Richard_Masiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You're absotively, posolutely correct.  Where you are lacking in HP/torque
you can make up with physics.
I've been told that any motorcycle can be wheelied.  Obviously the one doing
the wheelie must be an expert and know what they are doing.

Personally, I have not developed the skills to be able to wheelie any
motorcycle.  I doubt I'll even try.  To do that you need time and youth,
both of which I lack.  Especially since broken bones heal much better when
you're young.

Although I will be attempting racing this year, and falling is part of it.
Knock, Knock.... hopefully no broken bones :)

That's BS, I've seen it done "live", and saw photos of a GL1800 and an
mpeg of a Valkyrie doing it.  Even my old and gone Maxim 750 would.
