DribbleDuke
Ok, so I've had my super duke for a little over a year and 21,000 miles. Today was the first day that I purposely wheelied it. I've wheelied the 1-2 ft wheelie that the traction control will allow under hard acceleration. But I have not until now turned the tc off to purposely wheelie. First I have to say I have always only been able to power wheelie, usually in second with the quick chop and roll-on, which I can usually do at lower rpms and bring it just to or before balance point so I can ride it out for a bit. If I were brave, I should be able to shift and ride a wheelie. But I tried about 20 times to clutch the front end up which I was able to do only a few times about 2 -2 1/2 ft off the ground. But everyone who can wheelie well, swears clutch wheelies are way easier to do and control. They say once you learn how to, you'll never go back to power wheelies. What the hell, power wheelies to me seem WAY EASIER than clutch wheelies.
Do you guys agree that clutch wheelies are way easier than power wheelies? Are power wheelies easier to learn at first than clutch wheelies and once or if I ever learn to do a proper clutch wheelie, I'll think the same thing that clutch wheelies are the easier to control wheelies?
I know, I know, not doing wheelies on the super duke let alone a motorcycle is considered heresy/blasphemy in the motorcycle community, so if you want to disown me, understandable.
