........ - , ............. ..,-""·1 ..... ---,.--~· .... - - ... - .. - - ........ - ..... -~------.-- By Doug Dom9kos & Len Weed Published by Cleansheet Enterprises 144 pages, soft cover, $9.95 If you haven't seen Doug Domokos wheel ie, you haven't seen anyone wheelie. Domokos is beyond a shadow of doubt the most talented wheelie artist in the world - period. I've seen ve,teran racers who took pride in their ability to wheel ie, watch Domokos and shake their head with disbelief in their eyes. One well·known motocrosser who I'm sur~ wishes to 'remain anonymous, once called on Domokos to prove his bike wasn't tricked out for wheelies. Domokos grabbed the racer's _bike, told him to take his, and the pair proceeded off into the sunset -Domokos poppin' gigantic, rear fender bending wheelies. Needless to say, the racer couldn't even begin to match the 'Wheelie King. A decade or SO ago there was a book entitled, How To Wheelie. Reading it didn't instantly rnstill in one the ability (confidence) to wheelie. Reading Domokos and Weed's book won't either. You can or can't wheelie. Some learn quickly: some never learn, But Wheelyin' With The King is a visual delight that is topped only by seeing Domokos in person. Over 300 black and white and full-color photos show Domokos doing everything but walking on water. The chapter covering his wheelies aboard a Kawasaki KZI300 (yep,. the 700-plus pound, water-cooled six-cylinder machine) is worth the price of the book alone. So, whether or not you think you can learn to wheeIie, Wheelyin' With The King is a blast. As icing on the cake, you discover that both Domokos and Weed have one helluva sense of humor and the text makes for great reading. Domokos coins some new motorcycle phrases that could easil become part of the everyday language of motorcyclists. We won't repeat any here .. buy the book!
