Steel is the master of Rocket wheelies. Very impressive to watch him do it.

Still learning but it just amazed the hell out of me how easy it is to ride a good wheelie on such a large bike. Not good for the bike, or make a hole bunch of sense but what does that is so much fun.

Not even close, but thanks.
I think Keven Charmicael is the best I've seen.

Did he say that with a straight face or did he "Wink, Wink!"? I hope you put that myth to rest as you left the parking lot!The worst thing I've heard was from the manager at a Triumph dealership. He said: "Even with all the power they have, they're too heavy to wheelie."

He was dead serious. When I told him how easy it would wheelie, he looked surprised. Obviously he never had the balls to twist the throttle on one.Did he say that with a straight face or did he "Wink, Wink!"? I hope you put that myth to rest as you left the parking lot!
BTW, nice wheelie. Is that you?

Start slow, and find where her power comes in. Always keep your foot over the brake just in case you give it too much.

It's a parody, but still they did this. as have others...
Seriously, Triumph needs better dealers.

Down in Texas last October I found it WAY easier than expected to do a good wheelie.
I can sure see how it can get habit forming . . .

Just put my first 128 miles on mine last weekend. Nothing like it. Just do it.
