My first wheelie on the 900 SS kinda took me by surprise as well. Being the old Harley rider that I am, I merely took the same approach to overtaking traffic ("cages" in biker lingo) as I would have on one of my H-D's. I approached a red light in a vacant lane, with the adjoining lane well and truly backed up, and timed the changing of the light pretty well spot on. I was doing about 35, about a dozen cars back from the intersection when it changed. So I whacked it wide open, just like I would on a 730 pound, 65 hp Harley. Problem was, I was on a 368 pound, 95 hp Ducati - I passed at least 8, probably 10, of those cars with my front wheel at about the height of their hoods. It was wonderful...
