Bad is Good

It was a bad session. If each whoolie wasn't a chaser, it was out of control. Just. Bad. 

The wonderful part was that I was out there doing my thing. It's what I love to do. And I had fun every second of it. 

Sometimes a bad Moto Wheelie Session is a good one anyway. Just because.

Anything Better

Is there anything better than experiencing a well executed motorcycle wheelie? Of course not. That was my exact thought upon the first wheelie of today's session. That, and "why do I not do these sessions three times a day every day?"

Pants On

With a low sun and a refreshing cool temperature, this Moto Wheelie Session brought 40 more sit-down WR250R wheelstands to my experience. I focused more on proper bicycle-style launches -- getting a good pop and catching rotation on the brake in order to keep speeds low. 

As a side note, I discovered that backing in a WR250R is about as much fun as you can have with your pants on.

First Pop

The first wheelie of a Moto Wheelie Session is always the best. And the best feeling. With a rev, a clutch let-out, a tug, and a braking to keep from looping out, I always still find myself in awe that wheelies are possible. And that I'm doing one.

First Gear

At the end of today's session, I went and pulled a couple of second gear wheelies. As I've always known, they are a different ball of wax. Throttle control seems completely different. I imagine I'll have to pull a few thousand wheelies in each gear to learn how to really get motorcycle wheelies down pat.
