During another dedicated wheelie fest with The Little Engine That Could (WR250R/Two-Fiddy), for some unknown reason, it didn't go anything at all like the last. Last time I realized that I'd only learned how to learn how to really wheelie motorcycles over the past few years. This time, I was up near the balance point (just under or over) without further training. I don't know what happened. Well, I do. I slept on it. And this time out, I was pulling the fat ones a hundred times better than last time on, basically, an unfamiliar bike. Kudos, MotoBum. Kudos.

Ah Ha with Two-Fiddy

+10 wheelies on the KLR. Yes. It never gets old. Just let the clutch out quickly from 2 miles an hour, and BAM... nice wheelie!

+10 wheelies on the WR250R. In a long overdue wheelie session with the little bike, I had an ah ha moment. I realized that I could not wheelie any motorbike by just hopping on and ripping some good ones. Not yet, anyway. What I learned is that I now have a solid method for learning how to pull wheelies on any motorbike. With this wheelie session, I was instantly transported three years back in time -- back to a time where I did not have the skills that I have today. I felt like such a beginner, such a hack. But now that I know how to learn to pull decent wheelies on a motorbike, the learning curve is expected to be quite low.
