Warrioring

Some days we're tired. Some days we're energetic. Some days we're happy or sad. Some days it's sunny, rainy, windy, dark, bright, cold, or hot. But no matter what, it's important to just keep on doing what we do -- just because we like doing it.

75?

The estimate of wheelies pulled since last publication is 75. It's a total guess. Since the last report, I underwent prep for The Dirty Crew's Oregon Background Discovery Route expedition, went on the expedition (many wheelies happened there), recovered from the expedition, and did a lot of commuting since.

Automatic Fantastic

The wheelies are always best when every little detail about pulling one isn't attended to. Instead, one just knows everything that needs to happen and does it, seemingly, without thought.

I Am Significant

Whether it be associate contemporaries at the office or the best of friends looking on, people seem to love it when I pull motorcycle wheelies. I love it. I'll keep doing them.

Standing Tall

Most days, the best thing to do is get up in the morning and clutch one up. Just get the machine standing tall. It never disappoints. And on the off-days, it's best to clutch ten up... just to get in the spirit of things.

Contemplation

The moto wheelies have become so integrated in my lifestyle that I'm starting to lose count of them. They're more of a contemplation. I contemplate wheelies. By the time this project is complete, there will no longer be a need for counting... only contemplation.

Keeping It Up

I've only been pulling one about every day, besides one short session in these past two weeks. The practice during this dark time is just the habit -- one must keep pulling wheelies, no matter how much is going on. Because all of that will always be going on.

Hero

When the heavy weight of life feels overwhelming, that's when I know it's time to give a two-wheeled machine a hard launch or two... or ten. And when I do that, the heavy weight lifts and I re-realize what I should be doing.

Don't Stop Believin'

No matter the machine, pulling wheelies is definitely what I came here to do. I can feel it.

The Wait Is Over

I cannot speak of how many years I've waited and wanted to pull motorcycle wheelies as well as I can now. It's been a long, long, long road. And it keeps getting better.

Today in ---

1992: "Oh man, I'm totally going to pull some power wheelies on my Honda sportbike in a few years, when I can afford to get one."

2002: "Gettin' that front end off the ground is a no-brainer and holding it till the revs run out is easy enough. How do those Star Boys ride for miles though? Is it the jackets?"

2012: "I've become "that guy" who is always terrorizing the neighborhood by riding his motorcycle everywhere like it's a unicycle."

Why not loft the front?

Wheelies are free.

Pull some now.
