Stunting
Any of you guys stunt your bikes at all?

I wheelie every now and then nothing serious had a get off last year about 105MPH cost me a totaled bike, 5 days in the hospital, fractured tibia and crutches for 3.5 months.
Nothing but power wheelies now! Before the wheelie crash could ride a wheelie for about a 1/2 mile...
Mainly do nothing but back roads now, since have slowed a great deal on them now..
Crashing sucks!

Whoever that was, he's got more nerve than me. I try to practice what I preach and not pass judgement on stuff like that. Some really get their panties in a knot over it tho.
That being said, I am curious as to why someone would risk life and limb, not to mention their machine trying it. Just seems like a waste. I could never do that to any machine I own, even if I knew I'd not get hurt. To each their own I guess. I'm probly too old to understand. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE FOLKS....

Im getting my bike ready for stunting. Im not into doing wheelies down the freeway but I think it would be fun to do stunts in a parking lot and see what I can make my bike do. Im also investing alot in protective gear. Ill going to start practiceing right after my midterms this week. wish me luck

Goodluck, if you find a good place to practice let me know, I wouldn't mind going to watch/attempt. I have yet to accomplish a good standup wheelie. |
