Somewhat startled me but also made me giggle like a little school girl. Any of you guys do power wheelies on the occasion?Once. A harley squeezed through the traffic to line up next to me at the front of the line at a stop light once. I could tell he wanted to see what I had on my CB1100, with the truck attached to the luggage rack, so I showed him. To my surprise, as I was slipping the clutch off the line the bike gradually lofted the front wheel, and it continued to rise to about 18 inches off the ground until I pulled in the clutch to catch second gear. The Harley stayed with me through first gear, but when I shifted to second (with the front tire in the air) he suddenly backed off.
Cool. Another "Ground Hog Day" story.
