So I''m ridin my bike home from class today, and I''m about a mile from my house. I turn onto the road that leads to my neighborhood, and I take the turn slow and get straight. Now after the turn, there''s this straight I always crank back the throttle on. Im still in first gear, probably up to 25 mph when I crank the throttle. My bike starts feeling a little weird, and I was like "oh great, what now?"
It had some problems on the way back, felt like fuel didnt get to it once (coulda been something of a mix between I need to clean the carbs, not desperately, but it needs done, and the fact that I had just filled up, dunno if there was some kind of inconsistency in the tank), other time in high revs it felt like the gear i shifted from was sticking and then switching late.
ANYWAY, so I still have the throttle back when it starts feeling weird and I look down (instinct, dont know why I do, the instrument panel doesnt tell you much about the engine, especially with a broken thermostat guage). I''m looking and realize the distance between my windshield and the road ahead is decreasing. Then it hit me. "I''m doin a power wheelie." Now I''ve never done a power wheelie, tried a clutch wheelie a few times but eventually decided without gear and without a crash cage, it was a BAD idea. NOR did I think it was even POSSIBLE on my bike without prepping it. I let of the throttle to set it back down and let the realization hit me. After a second or two, in my helmet I''m goin "YEAH B***HES, WOOO, YEEAAHHHAAAA"
I''m in complete wonder right now. My bike is all stock save the slip on exhaust. I counted the sprocket teeth myself. Maybe it was because I was at a steady "power band" rpm when I cranked it.
Anyway, that''s my story that just happened like 5 minutes ago. Had to share it with SOMEONE. Didn''t think this belonged in stunters corner cuz....I didnt mean to, lol.

Man, you must have just hit it right cause when I do power wheelies in first, there''s no mistake about it. You crank those at about 6,000 RPM and you can hit balancing point without any problems. You must have done it at around 5,000 to make the front tire hover like that.

Sounds like you had a bitta fun soccer13 
I like it when you have got a ton of RPM''s up and they not only lift, but the rear tire goes all squishy and does its own little slip and slide dance under you.... they even drop a little burnout tire smoke if your lucky .... a great feeling ... neat if you have an audience 
We used to do wheelie demos years ago on this big old back road near where I lived back then and it was neat to watch all the rear wheels sliding and smoking while the front is in the air ....
You be careful trying to re create it .... this one may have been an accident , but the next one you deliberately try , ....you do not want to have it turn out as an accident !!

Oh I concur, Not too sure how soon I will WANT to re-create it anyway, for the same reasons I dont want to try a clutch wheelie, no gear (cept helmet, I''ve been called on that before because i figured a helmet was a no brainer...no pun intended), no crash cage. I just never thought such an old bike would do it without prep (I never compressed the forks, didnt lean back) and without a liter engine in it. Lesson learned now, gotta watch that throttle, lol

^^ he was dropping the front end coming down from the wheelie. took me a second to figure out what he meant too.
That was how i did my first wheelie too, kinda scared me more than anything cuz i was not ready for it and a very new rider, have done it a few more times on the 54 but still not real comfortable with it. Just taking it slow, i have my whole life to do wheelies lol i dont want to get greedy and loop it.
as classic said, careful recreating it!

what I meant was the window was nearing the horizon, miswording I guess, better choice woulda been the distance between the horizon and the window was decreasing

I Like the look of a power wheelie better, its not so much stunting as the bike being SICK, at least in GP it looks cool, lol

My fave is cresting a hill on the gas, the rear sticks to the tarmac and front keeps climbing...that''s what makes MY boy parts happy.

i went out today and took off out of my street road onto the main road, layed into it and it comes up in first and the front end gets awful light in 2nd. clean those carbs son. a good clean set of carbs will give you throttle response that rivals the often blowjobbed efi bikes lol

Yeah, it sputtered so bad I actually started to pull over, felt like i was running on empty, but then it got power so I shot back to my spot, probably looked like an idiot to the people behind me, but most cage drivers dont know anyway. Fuel switch was in the right spot and all, seriously think it''s the carbs, if not them, the pump
