Sportster wheelies?

When I was a kid I did them all the time on my '72 Ironhead. First time I did one after extending the forks, I didn't realize what effect the raised front end would have and I went up and over. I'm older now and only occasionally pop the frone wheel off the ground, but never a good wheelie though. My bones are more brittle thant they used to be, and it costs more these days to put the bike back together than it did when I was a kid.

Our local paper had a story the other day about an igmo doing a wheelie down the freeway (I see this at least once a week). Worked out great till he hit the car in front of him and ended up dead. There's a place for wheelies, but 75 mph down the freeway ain't it.
A friend of mine, who investigates fatal airplane accidents, has a term for this: Cleaning out the gene pool.
