Clutchless wheelie in second, totally possible.

But only coming down the descending side of a very steep rail road crossing.
Gotta get a pic of this happening, enlisting the help of a roomate to be a photograper later this week.

but seriously, i had noticed my front lifting when i was in a hurry to get to class on time the other day, so later on i tried it again but i really screwed the throttle open, damn, scared myself.

the pavement is shitty and uneven, the area has relatively heavy traffic, and i'm not exactly the lord of wheelies myself.

so all in all a bad idea. but it was fun. it felt pretty high, but then again i really don't know. i shut the throttle as soon as i could, and brought the front down hard.

bad for the bike, and potentially bad for me.
some day i'll have a bike that won't need a steep drop off to lift in second with no clutch.
The final measure of any rider's skill is the inverse ratio of his preferred Traveling Speed to the number of bad scars on his body. It is that simple: If you ride fast and crash, you are a bad rider. And if you are a bad rider, you should not ride motorcycles.
