Don't mean to sound like a damp squib but....wheeeeeellies are fun but on a nice Ducati?? Nah, coz of the dry sump arrangement oil may get sucked up through the airbox on to the rear wheel...then...??
Also, the soft wheels can't trake it so you'll do more damage then good.

Try a Pizza Hut scooter.

I wouldn't, the bikes they use haven't enough power to shift thier own weight let alone moving with the front wheel off the floor.
DrBob, Domino's use Honda C90's. I reckon if you can wheelie one of those you can wheelie anything! I've got some movie clips somewhere of a few talented Pizza boys, I'll add it to the 'Movie Clip Forum' when I find it...

Wheelie School
Hate to pee (or is that weeeeee?) on the domino pizza appeciation society - but pulling wheelies on a c90 is actually fairly easy - there is no wieght on the front at all - particularly when you add a large fibregalss pannier on the back!! Honda Monkey bikes are also excellent for wheelies - when i was around the racing scene the meachanics used to have paddock bike races and wheelie competitions around the circuits after race control went home!!!!

Fraid not - was on the spanners from 92-94 for a GP Sidecar team, which at the time raced at the same meets as the GP boys (as was) and World SBK -

Can assure you - no pizza deliveries in sight. 8)

Not the dreaded MCN again, the last one i saw of theirs was how to get knee down on a roundabout.
Has Dave Hicks not done the wheelie school in Blandford yet as he must be our resident wheelie wheelie good wheelier if he has?

I really like the attitude in the Superbike clip. Too many articles/videos seem to want you to get the front wheel up and hold it there from the off. Much more helpful approach.
