After seeing these kids on their crotch rockets doing the wheelie thing off the light--saw one get pulled the other day.
I keep thinking their nuts to be doing this in trafic-I have seen them do wheelies on288 andI95--damn crazy,maybe I`m getting old.

I still think they look like monkeys humppin afootball on those things-can not be that comfortable riding--damn I am old I reckon..

Oh well still saving for my first HD also my first motorcycle at age 56-so many models,Low Rider,Fat Boy,Heritage Classic, Road King Classic--man.
Still trying to talk my wife into the idea-she is hard to convince- until I get my bike I hope you guys let me hang around to get info and ideas.

thanks

Test ride them and see what bike dose what you want. They will give you a new life. And then you will be doing wheelies too. Starts at $100. a month. For a new way of life.

 

welcome to the forum and please join in, hang around, and ask away

 

Welcome. And hang all you want. I didn't get my first HD until 2 years ago at 39. I stuck to my guns and swore I wouldn't own another bike until I could get an HD.

Man was it worth the wait!

 

Welcome and I alsolive insame area.
Let me know when you do get a ride.

Welcome...come on in!

My son has two bikes. One is a crotch rocket. He tells me that a guy he knows did a wheelie on the road, cops started after him...he ran...guess what happened next....

Cops caught him, he got a huge fine and jail time. Now has a felony on his record and has effectively limited his future because of being stupid on the bike.

I swear I think that if you get on a rocket bike your IQ goes down while you are riding it. They tend to make you do things that you wouldn't normally do.

I will stick with my little Harley...

I don't think that I could reach the handle bars on one of those rockets anyway...with my big belly thing going on.....

 

I was slowly approaching a red light one day, when it turned green and a kid waiting on a sportsbike popped a wheelie off the line, coming toward me. Well, something in his tranny blew up (there was a hole in the housing after we picked the bike up), and the rear wheel locked while the front wheel was up in the air. Not a pleasant outcome. He was ok though, other than the bumps, bruises, and road rash. He said he'd just had a "buddy" work on the trans the day before. I wonder what he was thinking to try a wheelie right after that. He was lucky that time.

 

Well it's a no brainer here. I don't think that even with the 125" I would be able to get this 900lbs off the front wheel. Then you have to take into account that there is a 54 year old on its back is another reason it will not lift the front wheel.. RoadRunR good luck this is my first H-D and I love it. I have never looked back. Just gasing down the road..

 

Welcome from Tucson. Stick around and get totally confused like the rest of us.

Good luck in your upcoming purchase !!!!!!

 

Ticket for a wheelie would be, what, reckless driving?
