Yep! I did one yesterday on my shaftie Vision... I should mention
that I had a pillon that helped rotate the bike over :-) . The wheelie was
the result of a necessarily agressive acceleration manouver through an
intersection (damn San Antonio cagers tend to be REALLY bad drivers).
However, I have done one by myself, it just takes a lot of
pre-clutch dump rev action.
