Another wheelie, another ticket...
So, i've recently just learned to wheelie my F4 and it has been nothing but bad news. I've been riding for 3 years and didnt start messing around with the one wheel crack addiction until only 4 months or so ago. They are fun, i feel in control, and so i kept doing it when i happened to be on an empty straight road.
A few months ago i cluctched one up and was pulled over by an unmarked black SUV. He gave me a reckless driving ticket, but when i went to court they knocked it down to improper handling and i was slapped with a $300 fine. After surviving that ordeal and getting away with not much of a penalty you would think i'd have learned my lesson, but no...
Last week i threw up another wheelie and was once again nailed by an unmarked cop. This time in a white sedan. Since my other ticket, the reckless driving laws in VA have skyrocketed and i thought i was going to be f'ed in the @$$ for this one. Again, i got lucky, though. The cop told me that he was only going to write me up for loss of control, which is a pre-payable ticket and not one where i have to go to court.
*sigh* I know now that wheelies are considered reckless driving, but goddamn if it isnt an awsome rush to do. I have friend who have been wheelie'ing for years and have never been pulled over and now i have twice in4 months, what a bummer. I have no one to blame but myself, but i really dont think i'm going to stop doing them... i'm an addict, help.

Perhaps you've been unlucky, but I think your issue is in the "empty" part of the story. Empty roads have NO cars, therefore NO unmarked cop-cars.
Enjoy your wheelies, and be safe.

Yep make sure its really empty, heck ya never know if the old lady behind ya has a cellphone and dialing 911 right now. You ride the same road long enough there will be a officer there waiting for ya. Like vp said, find a lot, or take it to the boonies.
better than where i live, they will take ur *** to jail for wheelies. me i did it around town but i practiced and learned new wheelies around warehouses(alot of straight roads that are never traveled during work hours). try to find a warehouse area and do it during work hours, or hell just run from then when they try to pull u over!
