Default Heli Bars

My Heli Bars are due to ship on May 6th.

I have to say my dealings so far with Heli has been excellent. They've let me know all the stages of progress and even to the point as I say above .. letting me know when they were going to ship them. Not that they've been shipped .. WHEN they will be shipped. Someone still believes in customer service

They should be waiting for me when I get home again .. more shop time

I can do a liddle one, and if I crack the throttle in 1st or 2nd from above 7k, she will lift the front to the point where I can feel there is little/no contact with the front tire. Then I let off, allow my cheeks to unclench and start breathing again .. It's those little moments that stop me from wanting a ZX10 ..

I *have* done wheelies, sure, but it was because of rolling on the throttle or what not. I don't know how to do one on purpose if you know what I mean. Too much can go wrong with attempting one. I've seen enough go wrong on YouTube to know that they get away from you pretty quick and the next thing you know is you and your bike are skipping and tumbling down the road. Nope. I'll stick to popping wheelies as part of normal riding.

Pretty much same for me. I've done a few intentional ones on vacant parking lots and/or deserted roads. I've never intentionally did a clutch up wheelie though .. thought is too skeery

I have done many wheelies on my dirt bike, none of them have turn out well, hehehe. Did one on my Ninja once by mistake...didn't even know it could do one. Hubby does them on his Goldwing, he thinks it is funny to leave a stop light on 1 tire.
