You are going to hurt yourself very bad, grasshoppa. You will break your momma's heart.

thanks for the help and tips. although ive only been riding for 3 weeks ive already had my bike 145 in5th gear. i do rolling burnouts and stuff. i just cant help it. i love the sound, adrenaline and everything about these bikes. i just want to know how to properly due things right.
If you really wanted to know how to properly due (should be "do") things right you would take a class, take your time, and show some humility towards the bike. Don't be one of those guys that give sport bikers a bad name by turning yourself into a bloody grease spot on the road. Are you even wearing any protective gear? I doubt it.

It doesn't take any skill to go fast on a motorbike, its when something unexpected happens your going to need skill and experience to save your ***. Slow down or your gonna hurt yourself very badly

I am guessing he is very young. Sounds like a 17 year old, or somewhere around there. Riders like him is why our insurance is so high, and AAA won't even insure these bikes.

Agreed. Sounds too young to ride. Unfortunately, you're never to young to die. Hope he heads the warnings and takes it easy. His parents should have bought him a moped.

You guys are talking about hurting himself, but what about the wife and kids ridding in the car that he decides to run into at 145 MPH. I have been on bikes now for only 8 years and I know speed is fun but you have to have a safe place to do it.

Oh yeah, make sure you are wearing protective gear, big "must have" when trying to learn tricks.

Also try the wheelies in a vacant parking lot, where you CAN'T hurt my wife and kids.

If its your first bike and you've been riding for 3 weeks, don't bother with wheelies or you will end up just as your signature says
