Default Reality has arrived for me

Well i had typed out this whole story earlier but wouldn't let me post, guess site is still goofy (just a fyi for the mods). So here is my shorthand version . 75mph 3rd gear standup, huge gust of wind (wasgusting 30-50 mph today), lost control, scraped tail, thought i was gonna die, somehow pulled it out of my *** and stayed up. The moral: i have done my last wheelie ever, i quit!!Off to ebay to find unrashed tail section.

Good idea. I rarely do them and never at those speeds.

Quit doing wheelies and stoppies years ago for similar reasons. Now I just drag things.

STAY SAFE. That's your bike telling you it wants you to continue living.

But what are you going to do when every little kid you pass yells "do a wheelie!" and gets mad when you don't?
