new to me spree...what to do now

Post by josh3049 »

I just picked up an 86 honda spree. This is my first time getting into these little animals and I'm just wondering what the easiest and cheapest way of getting a little more performance are. It was a barn find that has been sitting for many years but only took me about an hour to get up and running. Seen videos of people riding wheelies on them and would like to be able to do that. Any ideas let me know. Thanks in advance.

Wheelies are for people with a death wish. AKA stupid. :roll:

An 86' Honda Spree will do wheelies bone stock, if you have a deathwish like bear said. All you have to do is lean off the back, and drag your feet just right. and you will have to find your balance. But its super dangerous. and easy to skin an ankle, or worse.. :nervous: So I dont recommend trying it.

People die too easy nowadays :smile:.

I can't believe i'm still alive considering all the wheelies i did on my bmx when i was younger!

We need a "rant" section for wheelie, helmet, stupid, etc comments so i can avoid it when i login.:thumbwink:
