I think he has pretty good motorcycle skills. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0hlV3XucLQ]YouTube - Chris McNeil A Hard Day's Work Part 1[/ame]
Look fun but not to me. It's just the "balancing" act on clutch and throttle. See that he had his bike rear wheel up. He did this by briefly locking front brake and quickly release a bit to let it roll. It takes practice to get it right. I'm sure he have crashed bike alot before he got it right then use nicer one for the show.
Personally, I never wheelie on motorcycle even I tried to do that on 1979 Honda 750-4 Super Sport, I snapped the clutch and it just won't wheelie but it smokes wheel. Cuz the 4 cylinder engine on front was too heavy to wheelie. Honda 750-4 was a meanie bastard back in 80's when I was 15 years old and nearly flew off the motorcycle when I attempted to do 0-75 in few seconds. I had to really squeeze handlebar tight enuf to do 0-75mph less than 5 seconds upshift to 3rd gear (bit scary tho) But I have gotten an idea on how to balance clutch/throttle to get the result.

Yup, back then in 80's we don't see these crotch rockets, right?
That was Suzuki GS1000, and each cylinders has its own carbs, total of 4. Image how much power is in it with lightest vehicle?
