Once you flip backwards a couple times it takes the fear out of it and then you do better wheelies b/c your not scared, the trick is the back brake.

Nice pics

oddly enough I have more problems with standing on the grab bar riding wheelies than sitting down or standing on the pegs riding wheelies, the longest wheelie I have actually rode was a 3rd gear wheelie about 100 yards

yeah thanks, the frame, a-arms, and skids look great actually. Previous owner didnt ride it much I guess, motor is in good shape and everything works on it, another great craigslist find lol

I have done ALOT of cosmetic work to it, I have shined and polished anything that I could and I replaced the plastics from the black spray painted plastics to the yellow ones that you see in the picture.

yeah should probably wear a helmet lol, I am just as guilty when its really hot of not wanting to wear a helmet, I am the president of the Mokan Riders Offroad Club in Missouri and Kansas and I tell my guys to wear a helmet so if I have a picture of me not wearing a helmet it never gets posted lol

Thanks for the advice and that one handed wheelie is pretty sweet bro

5th no problem.... start in 1st and front end never hits the ground through 5th... the 400 balances perfect. and it stays balanced better the faster you go. but it does take practice.... and balls haha.
