I guess I've been lucky that I've never seen an 18 wheeler when I was there.

Anyway at the end of the video, anybody know who is on the Valk doing a wheelie? Anyone here?

Some thought they knew, but the Interstate doing the wheelie has pod lights and the "suspect" had none.
{edit} this is the thread where people were guessing who it could be....

I was wondering if the "suspect" lived in Clinton. Heard some wild things about that man! :2funny:

Of all the bikes it was great to see one of the few remaining  Valkyries pulling that wheelie!!  :cooldude:

You guys must be getting bad reception. It can't be a Valkyrie. I've been told MANY time that a Valkyrie can't do a wheelie.  :roll:

You've been lied to.   :)

Yep, been lied to. I got a standard with 6 cylinders that says it can! But watching that big interstate do it was impressive! ;)

I've know a Valkyrie would do a wheelie before I even got mine. I've never done a wheelie on any motorcycle, but I have no doubt my Valkyrie could do one if a rider asked it to. I've even see youtube video of a Harley bagger doing wheelies.
But I have had a couple of squids tell me there was "no way" that bike could ever get the front wheel off the ground.
Now, lets see some video of somebody doing a "stoppie" on a Valk.    :evil:

I doubt we'll ever see that unless the "stoppie" is followed by a "crashee".
