AAAhhh...Dyna riders are so brave & daring. Just remember - it's all fun & games until someone gets hurt...

As long as everyone's doing their stunts away from the public - ride on & show off the videos online. Really enjoyed my days of youth beating the crap out of dirt bikes, but now that I can afford a HD cruiser...all I do is cruise. I'll leave the wheelies to the new blood (and a few older "rowdy" riders too).

LOL its funny you say that Because I had a friend that did exactly that from wheelieing all the time on a 1200 years ago .The bike was only 2 years old with under 4,000 miles ... The primary bearing seized and continued to spin creating an egg shaped hole where it sat. He had a machine shop machine the hole larger and put an oversize bearing in it

and put it all back together. He then traded it on a new 95th Dyna WG ..... I always think of that bike when hear of someone buying a used bike that they dont know the history ....Let the buyer beware ...
