Have you ever popped a wheelie on a cruiser?

Question

I did, up hill. It was interesting. I was trying to turn into and make it up a steep driveway when I popped the clutch and the front tire went up. I put it down and stopped at the top of the driveway. Whew! It didn't scare me, It just surprised me. I've only been riding a couple of months and I'm gladi knew what to do.

All the time.

Answer 3

Almost any motorcycle will pop a wheelie. I have a Vulcan 1600, almost 800 pounds, and I did it on a dare. I apologized to my bike afterwards, and gave her a nice wax job.

BUT keep this in mind- cruiser-types are not designed for the hard impact on landing. (What goes up must come down- and hard!) If you make a habit of putting your sweet baby cruiser through this kind of abuse, be prepared to replace the seals on the front fork shocks every once in a while.
