Is that an educated statement
canadians own wore weapons per capita than any other country
a population of 25 million
22 million registered firearms
554 murders in all of canada
in the U.S last year there were over 21,000 murders

When our buddy Shazam returns you should ask him. He has whizzed by me on the highway on one wheel on more than 1 occassion. 2nd gear is where he starts. But hes out west right now!

I did my first wheelie (sitting-on-the-tank)this weekend. Talk about weird feelings. 2nd gear fan the clutch and up it goes but man sitting up there....when the front wheel goes up so do you. You feel like you are 8 foot in the air. As far as "regular" wheelies go I do the blip in first , and/or quick shift 2nd w/ lots of throttle. Can usually launch it at 35-40 in second and ride until redline (about 70 MPH) but I have smoked 2 front mounts riding this way.Is it worth it? HELL YEAH IT IS!

I feel more comfortable on a tire with a few miles on it to be honest. Your tire with the burnout on it should have a nice flat spot in the middle should keep the bike from leaning to the side. Once the tire is warm even a smooth tire will hook up enough for a good wheelie. Probally not to safe though.
