Your pic would have made a good reply to one of those insecurity threads.

After seeing your B&W signature pic for soo long it's odd to see your bike in colour.

Any bike can do a "wheelie". Question is, why would you want to prove yourself to be such an idiot?

My Suzuki GS will pull the front tire without even trying. It takes an improved rider to keep it down and safe. If you feel the need to prove your manhood it probably means you dont have one.

Proof is here in the picture of my other ride. No experienced rider pulls his front wheel off of the pavement. Your inexperience is showing.

Just because you can does NOT mean that you should! That is for kiddies. Kiddies are not the smart ones of our bunch.

Yeah I read the post about you scraping your knees on the twisties. Preach it somewhere else. youre just asstupid.I been riding wheelies for 40 years, you know zip if you think its easier to keep 2 wheels on the pavement that it is 1. Your sportbike pics dont impress me either, I prolly had at least 25 more bikes than you have had...

You know your the reason why people think that every rider will get killed on a bike. Yeah I like my twisties, but I do it safely. There is NEVER a safe time to be a show off.

History shows us that just after someone says "hey watch this" that something bad happens.

Little kids are annoying with there "hey watch me" stuff. Wheelies are of the same ilk. IF you feel the need to show off to other people than I say that your an idiot.

Going thru tight turns is a personal thing. No one is there watching. It's just you, the curve, and the machine. Sport bikes are made to do that. None however are made to be on one wheel.

To me that is still just one insecure idiot living up to his reputation.
