life ain't as simple as it used to be. in this case let's hope Darwin takes care of him before he takes care of the OTHER riders out there.

do I hope the worst for this guy/kid? absolutely not! Rouge hormones always trump common sense. Only by the grace of God do I type here today. I do shudder to think what/where I'd be if my 76 Sporty did the things the rockets do today. scarry stuff except for the rush of a 1971, Kawasaki 500 Mach III, (now those were the days!) NOT

Some Ahole kids pulled that stunt on a back road the other day as the wife and I came across them. They were traveling the opposite direction and I guess they figured they'd show off for us. The thing was I wasn't impressed, I WAS PISSED![:@] We had 35mph wind gusts the other evening and if the gust would have hit him right while on one wheel, he could have veered into his buddies, or across the road at us.... I may be an Ahole myself, but I was wishing that punk would crash his stunting as$ into a tree as soon as we were past him.[:@]
Clever, real clever, you want somebody to die because you don't like whathe did or does?? were you ever young? did something stupid? of course not I'm sure your Mr. perfect. Hell we were all young, I used to ride down highway 17 in N.C. through the dismal swampwide open after drinking a bottle of cheap wine, after midnight.pretty stupidI guess, but I lived through it..do I think they should do what they do, heck no, I have seen it, I have read about the accidents, not good, but I never, never wished somebody died because of their stupidy..I have to ask, who really is the stupid one here? maybe after you have got about 50 years in the saddle and have seen friends lose it, go over the bars, run over, getkilled right in front of you,maybe you will change your mind..I hope so.
It was because he was risking OUR LIVES as well as his own that I wished the dumb fukk would kill himself. He has no right to be on the road with anyone else if thats the way he thinks. To be clear we were on back roads far from any town and he had lots of room before and after we passed by them, to pull his wheelie....but he chose to pop it up about 50 yards ahead of us coming our way....Like I said, with the wind gusts we were experiencing that day he could have easily lost it and come across the centerline at us...FUKK HIM![:@]

Motorcycle riding is dangerous enough without tempting fate. There was a squid in one of the local neighborhoods that was constantly being reckless riding wheelies and hauling a$$ down narrow streets. The neighbors hated him. One day he was doing that "surfing" thing where you stand on top of the seat and lost control. He hit a telephone pole and died on the spot. He had a large telephone pole shaped dent in the side of his rib cage laying there dead in the street.

Default RE: riding a wheely!

I was driving my cage home from a business meeting this afternoon. I would have rode but make it a policy not to ride into areas like Washington DC for overnight travels. Anyway, I am on I95 South, just before Richmond, heavy afternoon rush hour traffic, but moving along about 70 or so. Along somes this (not a kid) guy on an oldRoad King, cut off shorts, T shirt flapping around, keds, no socks. He is weaving in and out of traffic, all of a sudden, like he has a cramp or something, he stands up on his floor boards. I am watching this in my rearview mirror waiting for his next trick! Then he lets go of the bars... for over a mile he rides like this, looking around, periodically catching the handlebars to change lanes. Then he sits back down, puts his bare legs through the engine guard and zooms off into the distance. I really expected to come upon him laid out like a gnat, but never saw him again. All riders and stupid trick people are not young and on crotch rockets!
Ride Safe!
