I've seen plenty of videos on youtube of baggers doing wheelies.

I'm not saying they can't pull off the ground, this particular photo doesn't look legit to me.

I'm sure he'd be doing the wheelie from a dead stop and the blurry background would make it seem he was going alot faster unless it was a tighter shot and obviously its not a tight shot getting the entire bike and a ton of background in the shot.. I could be wrong though

I've seen a number of baggers doing wheelies. Yes it can be done, and when they come down they just compress the suspension... It's done, believe me. Roll on over to Sturgis in a couple of weeks, and come to the drag strip. It's likely you'll get to see it in person.

Notice how they are all Road Glides. Remember, sharknose Road Glides are touched by God.

I've had the front wheel off the ground a few times

Doubt it's photo shopped. I've personally seen a lot baggers doing wheelies.

I haven't been there is a few years, but I used to go to Neptunes Net in Malibu California, a weekend biker hangout. Some of the guys as they take off will do a wheelie. They look pretty good when they do.
