Full Throttle Advice Please

[sutur]

For the original question, you can safely accelerate in ANY gear with FULL throttle if you're smooth enough with your wrist.

Ironically, if you want to be able to REALLY launch your bike without a wheelie, you need to learn to wheelie :)

Personally I don't do it - too much to risk even if I don't stack it, I could damage my favourite toy.

But if I had the balls...I'd learn to wheelie, so I can avoid them, and so they don't shock me if they happen accidentally.
