I have been able to nail some 2nd to 3rd shift wheelies and ride into third. Just have to hit 3rd while you are high on the wheelie, otherwise you will just drop the nose like a stone.

I had two beemers (r 1200s) following me today when one of them gassed it on a 4 lane to pass. I clutched 2nd, shifted to 3rd perfectly at the apex and rode it out as I passed him and walked away. twas fun till I lost my glasses (fell out of my tank bag that I hadn't closed all the way :hammer: )

BTW: badass pics corners! I like the rear peg standup. I haven't gotten the nads to do that one yet. I have tried many times, but keep chicken'ing out. I just feel too unstable back there.
