 The 97 Buell I sold recently and the 96 900 Ducati M I have now can wheelie in first with nothing more than a rapid twist of the throttle...In second gear too, but not as easily... Experienced riders control wheelie action using the rear brake and throttle...I'm not a wheelie guy and if the bike requires a lot of throttle and snapping out the clutch ,I don't try it..

She can also pick that 900lb + electric glide up from a downed position.

Harleys are often one of the easiest to pick up, because they have so many things sticking out that they don't go all the way over.  My Mille is a back breaker to pick up, even when done "correctly".

Once again , isn't this the same young lady that crashed into a bus in an intersection ?

I remember a video from a traffic camera, that showed her stopped, turning left in a square & a minivan rear ended her.
She apparently was okay, but not the bike.

The same could be said for writing (snark).
Just a test to see if there were any grammar, spelling police trolling around ;)

 Around here , surely not  :laugh: Actually "ridding" might be accurate , as in ridding the male dominated motorcycling community of the notion that a 100 lb female can't handle a large MC.  Tell that to Mrs Luap  :laugh:
