most of the time learning stunts you have to leave your comfort zone if not on purpose, on accident to learn the shit.
this is also how i learned where the balance point is. i'd always get my front wheel up a couple feet, enough that i felt like i'd accomplished something, but it was short-lived because if i wanted to ride the wheelie for more than a split second i had to keep accelerating to keep the wheel up. one day i gave it more throttle than i'd planned to, and i felt like i was going to fall off and watch my bike go scraping down the road while i was dragging on my ass, but much to my surprise, i didn't fall off, and i could ride the wheelie and maintain a constant speed. after several more times doing that, it just became second nature. now i'm stepping up from my 600 Katana to an '01 929RR, so i may have to start the learning curve over again (more power = more opportunity to f*** things up if i do it wrong), but at least this time i won't feel as uncomfortable doing it.

Back to stand ups...
Can someone please describe correct body position before clutching it up? Should legs/arms be straight? Do you lean forward/backward? When you drop the clutch and the bike jerks - do you hold on using handlebars or put all your weight on foot pegs (by leaning forward?) and keep hands relaxed?
Or you lift the wheel while sitting and stand up after?

yes, backward, try to stay relaxed and let the bike do the work.

from what i understand, holding a wheelie at lower MPH is alot harder then stand-up BP's at 60mph (except for the wind resistance), so if you get the low end wheelies in bp and held - stand-up's at 60mph should be a walk in the park..
also buy a beater - it's about that time of the year to get the best deals on bikes, don't smack around your love - do it to your mistress muhaha
