and that is fine, and what I like about Adolph is that you are mature enough to accept your actions and have calculated your risks and accepted them with your actions.

I bought my bike to ride, you bought yours to play. Both are fine.

Agian the arguement here is that the premise was ill conceived place to wheelie brings tickets. If the tread wants to go in a stunting direction and the VT simply wanted validation for his action, then the stunting corner would have been a much better place as you will not gather much support around this part of the forum.

Have a good day all.

Some of us do know what we're talking about. And some people like you keep trying to justify stunting on public roads. Fact is, it's against the law, and it's dangerous to you, the people you ride with, and other innocent motors. That's why we say do it in a parking lot, or a private road, or at the very least a country road with only the occasional car.

A wheelie that is not at balance point is NOT CONTROLLED. It is hard acceleration, plain and simple. Hard acceleration is unsafe, especially when you have only a small patch of tire making contact with the ground. A car can pull out in front of you or make a lane change in a split second. And it takes that whole second just to put your front end down, and by then it's too late.

Ask ANY real stunter where the appropriate place to perform is, and what kind of stunts they do. Then maybe you can set yourself a goal to become better with your bike, and get the dangerous activities away from innocent people. You'll get respect from all directions in that case.

I have friends that do them all day long down the road. I have parking lots plenty big enough to go and do that sort of thing, but I perfer to watch. I grew in Florida and most recently lived in Metro Atlanta. I have been around Sport Bikes since my dad brought home a brand new CBR F2 in Jan of 1992.

I have seen first hand what a little over confindence will bring you.

I am very safety minded. If Jason Britton has broken bones many times what makes you think you are safer or better that a pro.

I'm already missnig body parts for not following safety rules. I'm set and have nothing to prove.
You're missing body parts from not following the rules?

Please tell...how bad were you bending the rules?

Are you extremely harsh on people for doing a simple wheelie over the fact that in the past your extremety resulted in an accident?

Just curious Mate, have you ever pulled the front tire off the ground on that rocketship?

Wow, she is a beauty!
