Judge shocked at biker's bridge stunt - The Mormon's Bridge Video

[Big Dave]

There in lies the real crime
Hope they don't decide to go after those dudes doing wheelies in your mag - bit of a trade mark but in the same category don't ya think.

Denied! I just flicked through the May edition - the only wheelie in it is Ollie on a dirt bike. :-)

I think you had best go right back through "all" the bike copies and you would have bag full of wheelies to play with!

Bike mags are always full of bikes and riders doing wheelies! (I am so over that shit)

I notice them mainly because I can no longer manage to do them and I am envious of course!

It's normal human behaviour, we think our own excesses are OK but all the "others" are idiots!

[Big Dave]

The Ed is over burnouts. But wheelstanding is an easy way to demonstrate the acceleration prowess of the vehicle, it's also what a % of the readers like seeing. (and some don't)

Not all, but most stunts in KR are done by accredited union member, professional stunt men, at locations they use for film work.

I'm comfortable that professionally I make due diligence that the only person that can be impacted by any tomfoolery is me - and only me.

The Publisher also has spent on safety equipment and harnesses for the camera crew and requests that we have a safety plan on every shoot, in line with OSH requirements.

I miss the the days of ad-lib loose unit-ing it. :-)

Based on that idea then this GL145 must have some awesome prowess

[Big Dave]

It probably has good power to weight and a small enough mass so that the rider can easily effect the balance point. Indicates it would be a fun ride yes.

There are numerous big bikes that won't wheelstand unless the circumstances are staged.

What about a rocket

[Big Dave]

Yea - I can wheelie a Rocket. Pretty lame ones compared to the pros though. The new Roadster is awesomenessness.

Sheet, even I can wheelie a Rocket.
It ain't the wheelie that's the problem, it's the landing....

Happiness is other people's steering head bearings.
