Good to see the GS being stunted. 

I am not doing this to my bike anytime soon.

Thanks for posting!

Very nice. Idk why everyone here freaks out about stunting. Doing a wheelie on a gs is not the end of the world. Its actually kinda fun.

Yeah but if you do it right, its the clutch and transmission but with lower horsepower machines the added expense of engine comes into the mix, courtesy of revving the piss out of it :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

**exception: You weigh about the same as tinkerbell, and there are some .... EAT A BISCUIT DAMMIT  :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Yup, literally she bounces into a mattress when she flies into the cafe in TomorrowLand! But she gets paid enough let's put it that way. She's gotta be 110 everyday if not no tink in the fireworks!

I like wheelies, saturday 7/18/09 was nutbuster ride 09...

Starts like this 2 miles after departing straight stretch of empty abandoned road my partner decides to rip one up in front of me, he accidentally bangs the shifter into neutral in front of me sets it down hard and racked himself bad enough he thought about pulling over to puke.

40 miles into the day another lonely long straight stretch at the end of a section of twisties, I'm bored, 2nd gear, clutch gas yank it about 2 feet of the pavement and set it down about 200 yards down the road soft and gentle, my riding partner decides he needs to do a big wheelie this time round, yep once again he accidentally bangs the shifter into neutral and once agin serious consideration is given to pulling over to gack and puke because he racked himself yet again.

After a rest break and beverge stop at our turnaround point we turn off 10 miles later for some sweet high speed (100mph) sweepers on a road we don't advertise. Starightened the bike up and said to myself well boyo no guts no glory, (I have just begun using the clutch the past years it has always been power only wheelies). 1st gear (woops yep 1st gear) I squeeze the clutch lever grab a handful of throttle and out goes the cluth about the time the engine hits 10K on the tach. Front end comes up to the break over point fast but in it's usual predictable style and suddenly out of nowhere my head gets slammed backwards al I can see is my tank bag. I chop thje throttle stab the rear brake and grab clutch all at the same time and down goes the front, the fork tubes are clean and shiny now the wipes went almost all the way to the bottom and my nuts are still sore today.

Moral of the story, less throttle when clutching up in first, more throttle clutching up in second, when doing second gear wheelies don't cover the shifter...
