Where should I be looking?

When actually pulling up the wheeling, should i be listening to the motor and watching the road, or should i be watching the tach so i know where to consistantly drop the clutch (im clutching up the wheelies in the 2nd gear)

thanks

i dont look at the tach. i just go by feel and sound.

When I was learning I found myself to be more consistent when I was looking at the tach. It helped me learn exactly where in the rpms to clutch it up at to bring the bike up to where I wanted it. But since then me and my bike have "bonded" and I know about where I am in the rpms by sound and feel so I dont really look anymore.

I would just do it by feel. I never looked at the tach to practice my wheelies... once you get the feel for it you're all set.. just keep practicing until it feels right.

you should keep your eyes on the road as much as possible.
