Hey gents, I just went out for a great ride here in New York. I keep saying this must be my last ride for the season, but we keep getting warm weather--warm enough for an enjoyable ride anyway. There were bikes everywhere today, and a couple Ducati's pulled wheelies in front of me leaving Bear Mountain. I can hold my own in the curves, dragging a knee here and there, even a little kick stand metal shavings left hear and there...but after 25+ years of riding, I have never been able to pull a decent wheelie. I know it's not great for the bike, but...any suggestions on how to learn, save getting on a dirt bike. I have left much rubber on the tarmac, and shortened the life of many a clutch plate, and all that I can ever get is an inch or two off the ground at best with the front tire. Others make it look so easy. Any suggestions...other than don't bother? Thanks in advance Curtis
