Unless you are riding like that in a field to harm sheep, it may well be another person when you are riding pulling wheelies and speeding.

So far in a week ive learnt i cant smoke...pull a wheelie...or maybe buy a bit of scrap off a pikey incase its robbed.This week ime staying in the house not smoking and doing yoga to be a great human

I'm just as in control on one wheel as two thanks, And what have wheelies got to do with speeding? If you have good machine control and balance you can hoist a well controlled minger from walking pace!

P.S no sheep were harmed in this procedure!!

Dont you hate it when folk think they are just sooo perfect at doing what they do, they get to a stage they dont give a S**T about anyone or anything else.

Oh, I'm really sorry about this bud, but haven't you heard why yoga is such an unacceptable activity in your house?

I don't hate that any more than I hate those who formulate an opinion based on assumptions and doggedly stick to an argument founded on righteous indignation instead of just saying what they have to say and moving on.

My girlfriend does Yoga - it is an awesome spectator sport - well when she is in a leotard anyway........

What about girl bikers in leotards? Or on horseback?

Anyway back to welding my trailer - keeps me out of mischief!

my husqvarna lofted at the drop of a hat and the ktm had a habit of getting a bit lite at the front too, but as others have said time and place,

Only when some car driver pulls out on you putting their lippy on in the mirror whilst lighting a fag and texting.

One of my fondest memories is of my old pal Darren Trego, now sadly deceased, managing to pull a wheelie on his Yamaha DT50 on the junction in the centre of Taunton, circa 1984, just as the the car in front stopped, the front wheel of the bike coming down on the boot of the car, with Darren frantically trying to get his feet down before majestically toppling over.
He was more chuffed that he'd pulled a wheelie rather than worried that he'd trashed his bike and a car!

I think the ending would have been better if the horse had of reared up and dropped his hoofs on the biker, just to prove a point

 

[mike os]

roadworks and pedestrians... he deserves to loose licence and bike and a big fine.. total tosser...I don't care how good you are, there is a time and a place, and that was not it

Bushys on Douglas prom. used to be the place to watch wheelies during TT week, they just have few police about to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.

I have some super memories from Bushey's Bar in the early '90s, they did nice grub during the day as well.

There's a good line by actor Fred Dalton Thompson in the Tom Cruise flick Days OF Thunder, whee Fred DT is playing the boss of NASCAR b******ing two drivers for scrapping on-track, which is as follows; (in a southern US accent) "If you two wanna turn yersel's into a greezy spot awn a country road go raht ahayed, ah don' give a s*** an' ah don' think an'bahdee aylse duz, regardless uh what they say te yer face", always remembered that as it's doubtless true, your family would miss you but no-one else would be too bothered. Do it in a town centre and you potentially affect more people but in the middle of nowhere, less potential for harm to others. Of course, if you pop a half-mile stoater in the middle of nowhere there's no-one to see you do it

Time and place come into this more than anything.
20 mph limit in front of two horses on a busy street with junctions and changes in road layout is not smart riding on the the back wheel.
Both my Zx10r and blade will raise that front sky high in any of the bottom 3 and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't. The bottom line is I can't afford the head stock bearings and fork seals every service so I stick to knee down instead
