Re: Wheelie Gallery
I was never that good at wheelies on my Blade, I just didn't want to change gear, probably because of the cost of a gearbox rebuild on my R6 after too many hard changes on the back wheel.
I could change gear alright on my DR250, it had so little power you had to clutch it up in 1st and then change into 2nd, unless you could get the balance point perfect you weren't getting into 3rd.

Re: Wheelie Gallery
Ah go on then, not that many accessible from here, but few of the old ones
Circa 1979/80 on my first RD400- am in shorts too, not that you can really tell!
Pau 2000/2001
And these are still a good few years ago, but a bit more recent
Oh and of course the one in my avatar, circa late 70s , me on my yZ400 (which I still own), albeit I guess strictly speaking that's not a wheelie

Re: Wheelie Gallery
Doing it over the mountain is cheating, even slow bikes manage that...

Re: Wheelie Gallery
Not so much a wheelie, more trying to keep the front down, but as there is light under the front wheel I'll claim it....

Re: Wheelie Gallery
I had so many near misses riding a C90 for Domino's when I was 17. They put the pizza box right back behind the rear wheel, so when you had a full load with drinks etc. all you had to do was stamp into into gear with the merest bit of throttle and up the front came
Of course, being 17 I would shuffle as far back as possible on the seat and provoke such behaviour as often as I could. Probably the not the wisest and I fell off more than once.
