Well, once you've ridden long enough, you'll recognize that a slight lift of the front wheel comes quite naturally under hard accel, and there's nothing inherently dangerous about it. If you try to turn under hard accel, you won't have any traction anyway. What's the difference if 99% of the weight's off the wheel or 100?
Understand that there are two types of wheelies - those that are intentionally initiated by a pop of the clutch and/or throttle, and those that occur simply by launching hard. I'm referring to the latter, less squidly type.
