...got on a empty back road and then dropped the clutch at 4500 rpm (right where it comes on the cam) I was not expecting quite what happened, with the rear spinning the front end came up! I have never been able to wheelie this bike ( in spike of many past attempts) it certainly caught me unawares.






I did that, once.

I was 16, and it was on my '72 Honda CB350.

I think I was well over the 4,500 mark, and I too was caught off guard.

Front wheel came up.
(and up, and up...)

It was NOT pretty!
