I strongly recommend getting someone else to take the video of the front wheel coming up!!! (I sure hope Lucky 13 isn't reading this thread...)

Wow.  I saw the title and posted by Josh and I thought ya gonna hafta SHOW ME - not happenin at high altitude!  I'm not sure even George could do that, being a blown bobber!  Maybe Big Mike's blown nitrous bobber could wheelie at 70, at low altitude.  I'm gonna hafta see the video...

I read once that without pics, it didn't happen.   
I suppose anything is possible but, I'm gonna have to see that pic. 
That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see it actually be possible.

I know how Chris got his Valkyrie to wheelie at 70. He had his girlfriend on the back!

More likely to pop a tire than a wheelie!
