Cool Already with the wheelies

I told myself when I got the bike..."Just break it in, drive nice, and wait until next year for learning tricks" Yeah right! I'm almost at the five hundred mile marker, and it's feeling quicker and quicker every day, and I don't think the front end really likes staying grounded. The wheelies have begun. I know a couple of places where I can practice, and I'm starting to get pretty consistant. Still haven't smoothly shifted into second though...any pointers?
