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.[:@]

squids.

I hate freaking squids. we got a "stunter" here at work. Bike looks like you tossed it out of the back of a truck on I-55. Front brake rotors rusted (no brakes), both tires bald, cords showing on the rear. Wal-mart fog lights for headlights. no blinkers. no mirrors. oil leaks.

Got a job with us paying real good, and the first thing he buys with his fat check is a $380 helmet. Real smart. He rides that POS to work in shorts, t-shirt and sneakers, but he just had to have a styling helmet.

We talked about starting a pool to guess the day he kills himself.

Don't do it. This is not cool. The winner will be happy he/she won some $$$ over someone's death.

Ya know we were all young once and I'm just glad we didn't have bikes that could do that because I know we would have done the same studid things also. I was old enough to realize how dangerous it is by the time I had a bike that could do it. Ya just gotta hope your own sons or daughters are smart enough.
