My buddy at the Honda dealership where I used to work wheelied everything in the store, including Gold Wings, Valkyries, Shadows....even Silver Wing scooters. That guy could probably wheely your Prius.

Now that guy was entertaining! I saw him a few times when I was young.

Me too. Watched his high wire wheelie act at the Del Mar Mile about 20 years ago. It was amazing. Evel Knievel was there too, giving a talk to the crowd. Poor guy was hobbled. Both of 'em -- RIP.
Ride more. Worry less.

He'd ride around the entire motocross course at Red Bud (near Buchanan, Michigan) on one wheel to keep the crowds entertained between races. Good stuff!
