Default Wheelies on a wheelie machine?

Has anyone seen or been on a wheelie machine?

I haven't seen it yet, but the one I'm referring to is a ZX6R with the rear end held captive with the rear wheel on rollers. The front of the bike is strapped to avoid bringing it up too high. You're on the bike in control of clutch and throttle and you can wheelie as you like.

If you've seen one, post up if with your observations and opinion of the machine. If you haven't seen one, let me know if something like this sounds like fun.

I don't know - having never done a wheelie on purpose, I'd rather try a wheelie on that machine than risk my own bike.

I always wanted to play on one of those but it just seems too easy. Did you notice the people in the videos having to hold the bikes up for those people?

Guess they didn't show at Stuntwars this time. Normally they are there and at Stuntfest. Look for one in Daytona during bike week, I'm sure they'll be there.

It sounds like most of us would be interested in trying out the wheelie machine - thanks for the input.
