Popped a wheelie today!

Left a T junction turning right onto a main road with Sarah on the back and the front wheel lifted just as I was straightening up. I had given it a bit of welly to be fair but was amazed when it happened. What was interesting was that I never felt un safe when it happened.

I wasn't honest! I was amazed that the front wheel actually left the ground.

And the traction control didn't react or it was off?

Not surprised the bike could do it, but am surprised you didn't feel a bit uneasy, or at least your pillion

Thats a good point. My Traction Control was on.......
I am not sure how far off the ground the wheel went (probably a few inches) but it did. I know what because when I was a kid my 200cc two stoke Yamaha used to wheel hop in the first couple of gears if throttled hard and it was exactly the same sensation. Perhaps the traction control light flashed on and I did'nt notice it.

I think if the wheel had gone that high both Mr & Mrs Berber would have felt a darn sight more uneasy than it sounds! LOL
