Fat Guys Power Wheelie Myths

[BurningExample]

I recently read a thread on here about power wheelies and weight not working blah blah blah

I just wanted to say I'm probably one of the heaviest guys on here, I come in at about 260, bigger build, but still have a healthy beer gut lol. I do wheelies not frequently, cause its not my thing, but on the 1125r I can power wheelie in 1st, 2nd and third gear with no problems at all. no clutch use at all. so all this crap about fat people not being able to do wheelies on these bikes can suck it. We all have different riding styles, and we all like to enjoy these bikes in different ways. no need to knock others down because they are bigger then you and cant stand up on the seat and lift the front wheel up doing 60 mph.

to all you skinny jerks out there just remember us the next time you wanna win a downhill sledding race haha.

and idk about all this recent bitching on here. come on we all ride the greatest american bikes ever made, we are all brothers!

Rant Over

put enough weight in the back and you can wheelie anything.at 260 you could wheelie standing still.

ouch Anrkizm95... ouch. ill still give you +1 rep for that one, but barely haha.

^anrkizm got it. Any bike will do a wheelie if you get enough weight transfer.

right? i could sit on the passenger seat and i could never keep the front tire on the ground if i wanted.

 

[anrkizm95]

i put the wife on the back of my xb for those 4th and 5th gear wheelies.

Speaking of wheelies... I went out with a a friend of mine today for a wheelie session photoshoot.... =)

[Negative]

Lmao... I just about 11:55'd on one wheelie today... The rear tire spun a bit and then gripped suddenly and practically THREW the front tire in the air.... I'll post some pics

 

[Negative]

All-in-all... Pretty good day... =)

 

[BurningExample]

not a buell wheelie lol. anyone can do that on a dirtbike, also short sleeved wheelies seem like a bad idea unless you are into getting skin graphs :S, but pretty cool pics I like the last one alot.

 

[Negative]

Lol true it's not a buell wheelie... But that thing is not really that pleasant to wheelie compared to what I was riding at the time of these pictures... And I do have quite the collection of skin grafts... Hahaha...

But I didn't go out there with the intention of stunting gearless... I actually just went to watch some friends play around on their bikes and lent the guy on the supermoto the jacket I rode out there with... I still have on my icon boots, pants, and gloves on in the pictures... I just couldn't sit back and watch any longer... So i joined in the fun at the last minute and these were the only pictures his girl managed to get of me doing anything... =)

Trust me I try my best to keep ATGATT a habit especially after all the asphalt sandwiches I've eaten lol... Just wanted to post some semi relevant(ish) pictures of some fun I had for the day =D...
