I got a wreckless driving ticket in Belleville,IL back in 1987 for doing a wheelie on main street. A cop saw me do it on his way to work at about 9:00 PM. A different cop ended up pulling me over at 12:30 AM when I was almost home. Since I did not have my driver's license with me they took me to jail. I ended up getting court supervision for 90 days and paid a fine of $120. I am sure the fine has gone up in the last 20 years but you should still be able to get court supervision.

Yes, I got a reckless op. ticket for a wheelie. It was back in 1972,on a service station property. Even though it was not on state, county or city streets, it was a place of public ingress and egress, where the general public could be harmed by the way I may NOT be able to control my M/C. I chose to pay the fine and not contest it in mayor,s court. To hire an attorney and fight city hall would probably be a loss for more money.

im not sure why you sound so surprised...a wheelie on a public road seems awfully reckless to me...im not trying to criticize (i know it'll come off like that anyways)...practice in an empty parking lot...

yeah, sure, up until the point the soccer mom on her cell pulls in front of you, or the light turns red. not to say she is not driving wrecklessly herself, but that is another discussion.

keep it off the streets guys, find a lot or the road less traveled.

Wreckless does seem excessive. I had two buddies get a 'no registration' ticket for wheelies. It is really up to the cop, but definitely fight it.
