I have just a little to add to this,
One-Everyone should wear gear no matter what. They preach about it so you can save your own life in case you crash.
Two-Although I have been known to do wheelies here and there, it is very dangerous to do it on populated streets. not because we think you dont have the skill but because we know that cagers are idiots.
Even if you do have the skill, there is always that dumba$$ on the road that feels like side swiping the dude on the bike.
Thats why you should always wear your gear.
As for insurance....Almost everyone I know that has a bike has full coverage even if they do stunt and they turn it into insurance if they wreck.
And I do agree with you about buying a bike. There is no reason to get one if you arent going to have fun on it. I get bored and have to take some hard corners or else my bike just turns into a lower back pain additive.

I have never had full coverage on my bike and I don't know any stunters that do, those high insurance rates are from all the squids that go buy a bike and have no clue how to ride.. It's a sportbike not a geo metro whats the purpose of having it if all your gonna do is drive the speed limit and sweat your *** off in full gear...

I have a pretty good reason... how about I pay $250 a month for full coverage on my bike
BTW I've never had an accident or a speeding ticket in my LIFE on any vehicle.

Why does everyone hate on people that don't wear full gear..Its not you body so get over it..It's stuntriding, if it wasn't dangerous everyone would be doing it..

Geeze, i didnt know my post would get onto everyone....i said he was dumb for not wearing gear because ive crashed and was wearing gear (jacket jeans helmet gloves boots) and it saved my skin...im not creating a fight over wearing gear or not, it was just my $.02...

Sweet video. I enjoy seeing the Highway stuff over parking lot any day. I wish I could rock endless wheelies but I am too **** about my pretty bike. BTW I am 22 and I pay $71 a month for full coverage with 100/300 coverage. $892 per year. Plus it will cover $1500 in damage to gear. as for gear its your choice lets not complain about it. If I dont wear a jacket I wear an Icon vest and gloves at least I can wipe my A$$ if i eat $hit while riding. If I go out to do wheelies I wear a jacket. If its 90 forget a jacket just ride careful and take less risk thats my opinion. I know a lot of stunters that are better then I am and they are confident and have been doing it for a long time. They know their limitations and risk and dont need to be told what to do. sweet vid though. Thats what I like to see.
