Wheelie!

Challenge #18 in the Motorized Transportation series. Hosted by rponiarski.

Challenge has finished

Another motorcycle themed challenge. A wheelie is really showing off on a bike and I want you to show me the best picture of a wheelie that you can. The bike needs to be in the shot and the front wheel needs to be shown off the ground, otherwise it is up to you what else you want to put in the picture. Good luck and ride safe!

From your camera I thought that maybe you're a pro. Anyway, the pic is great.
