After watching a video of the wankers in London run through the streets doing wheelies, nosies, and weaving through traffic. I got at most a foot off the ground. Luckily I don't have enough torque to do it anywhere but from the starting line.

been there done that, but I'll probably do it again.

Let's see some pictures. No PhotoChop jobs either - unless you put an Evil Kneivel outfit on.

How long did you hold it for? Just curious

Well once on my Stella I was leaving work and it was cold and raining a little and I didn't warm the motor up much, so I get out in a turn lane, got the green arrow, started to take off and bogged a little so I revved the engine (cars were behind me) let out the clutch and accidentally did 2 little wheelies while I was turning left onto a 6 lane divided road. How ignominious!

where abouts can i see this video?

that is not the video i was talking about but its cool
I had to stand up on the passenger feet panel to get it going.

I'll try to get a picture but it will probably end up not looking big or I will die.

OK HERE IS THE SCOOTER RACE AND ITS A FUN MOVIE

Nice! I haven't gotten it up that much yet. Maybe at best 6 inches and I can bunny hop some holes in the ground. The bunny hop was a bit of a surprise, as was the pot-hole that appeared in front of me that night. Usually it's clean front tire and I feel a little bump on the back, this was a perfectly executed hop.

I'll try repositioning my feet like you suggest and we'll see what kind of air we can get now.

I just had my 2000 mile service and I'm amazed at how awesomely my Fly is running.

That second video made me uneasy just watching.
I had a truck driver pull up next to me the other day
and wanted me to pop a wheelie. I told him auto tran
I wasn't sure I could. Amazing people roll down their windows
and talk to me all the time. Scooters must just look friendly.

OMG so did I

Do you really mean 'wankers'?
That is how we ride.
One of those bikes is the Piaggio Typhoon, I've had a couple of those...one standard and one with a 172cc bore kit etc etc. Both went light under power very easily. The 172 would lift at 40mph.

hahaha no I didn't mean wankers in a offensive name.

Hah! Good job, man. Soon you'll be rollin' unicycle style.

I like to see that you wear all your safety gear when you stunt.
