Im not a woman, but when I see peeps pulling wheelies (big ones that is) I just think theyre stupid on the road. No way to slam ur breaks on. Its always fun to do little ones when accellerating hard tho
i lived on the isle of man for a while and loads of the guys thought they were well cool pullin wheelies an doin donoughts in the road on TT week ... till the local coppers slapped them with fines for it then they looked idiolts !!!
people who pull wheelies to impress just end up lookin like a charlton !!!
((((((((XXXX))))))))
Well, speaking as a female (but not in the cute biker babe way, unfortunately!), I think it depends on the situation - a good wheelie brings a smile to my face when it's been done for my benefit but I can see how it would hack some people off. I'm just jealous cos I can't do one..... yet!
Lived in a small village in derbyshire,two coppers on pushbikes,one retires his replacement was a pretty blonde girl,we rode round in them days on a collection of noisy 2 strokes,one of the group was so enfatuated by the blonde police woman he would,pull wheelies to impress her she nicked him they never made it as a couple,so fraid not,but guess that men love a girl in uniform must be true!
not trying to offend anyone BUT most people who know what they are doing with a bike and know the boundries can stunt safely.
The people who get wound up and upset,are the ones who would like to be out there doing the same,and it all comes down to two things
1.They are to scared
2.they dont want to damage there bike.
I do apoligise if this post upsets anyone
hey gixxer dont think theres anything in your post to get upset about, everyone has their own opinion and yep your right its about knowing when and where and how compitent you are on a bike if it done safely and with no danger to rider and others road users fine, it just the ones who dont think before they do that bug me
proven-----women are impressed by---power,
all back to basic instinct.,,neanderthal etc......men to provide for home , family, and future,
so 'yes', if seen as 'power' then wheelies can b impressive, tho rather more down the list from , top job, money, actual muscle, etc, so 'nice guys whocan hold a 3rd gear 45 for 1/2 mile are less than Gordon Brown!!!
'Are women impressed by wheelies?'
Depends where they are being done, if in a stunt show, or other controlled environment, then yea, well impressed
if done on the motorway at god-knows-how-many-miles-an-hour, or any other busy public road, and especially if I'm a pillion then NO!!

Not ALL women! We're not all flaky and shallow and only like a man for what bike/income etc he has.
Just like not ALL men are the same.

There are a few girlies who are known to wheelie as well,there was a girl a good few years ago who rode a kwak z650 who dumped a few boyfriends and dates,on the tarmac,last seen however,with a couple of kids and a people carrier,Not really that hard on a modern sportsbike,try wheeling a GS850G
wheelies and stopies all come at a cost .
bearings , chains , sprokets , shocks , ect . bikes are not designed to be ride on one wheel thats why they have two wheels .
also if you fall off while do these stunts think about this .
the car behind or beside your panels on comeing traffic , the fine , all come down to two things your life and your money .
dam im glad i cant do a wheelie
