Learning to wheelie has never been so easy

If you are like me, every time a professional does a wheelie and keeps it going for ages you wish you could do it.
You have probably tried to get the front wheel of your bike off the ground by holding the clutch in, blipping the accelerator and holding your breath while you let the clutch quickly out. You know all the time if it does come up too quickly and your bike starts to go too far you might lose everything. But you keep trying.
Well don’t worry, I have found a product that enables you to wheelie on your own bike without the worry of flipping it, the Wheelie Teach.
The first time I used this on an R6, obviously in a safe area, I was shocked how easy it was to “get it up”.
I just took the bike to around 6,000 revs, closed the power off for a split second and then “whap” – cracked it open again back to around 12,000 revs and up the front wheel came. However, with the Wheelie Teach on the back it stopped the front from going into an uncontrollable flip; basically on level one it pushed me back to the ground again when the front wheel got to about 4 feet in the air.
I might add this machine only fits on your back axle. It doesn’t have a kill switch, back brake cover or any other fan-dangled electronic gizmo that shuts the bike down; it just basically keeps you in a straight line on the back wheel without the chance of going over.
After a few runs I was confident to move the back pin and set the Wheelie Teach up a level to level 2, then I could get the front wheel higher to around the 9 o’clock position. Again the same technique was used and every time up came the wheel with no worry of going too far.
Level three takes you to about the 12 o’clock position, I have not yet had the chance to try that, but believe me, I will.
I now have loads more confidence when pulling a wheelie. This machine really works and you do it all on your bike for only $285.00! The Wheelie Teach is available for Buell, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha motorcycles.
