Lance Lowe fined $100 for Paeroa wheelie

**Big Dave** · 23rd December 2009, 10:40

Had a call from Lance asking for some feedback on the $100 fine that has been imposed for doing a wheelie across the finish line at Paeroa.

Not being a race or rules officianado I'm not qualified to give him any - but my first reaction was that sounds a bit rough? I go to the races partly to see a bit of that shite.

What's the score?

Wheelies scare me

its bullshit. completely and totally.

they should get a bonus $100 for each wheel off the ground over the finish line. Extra $500 if its the rear and they still win.

Its a spectator sport!

I guess until you have a tax bill the size of Rossi's wheelies are out.

Last time I was caught, the cop let me off with a 'Take that shit to the track'... Shows what he knows

I guess IF it goes wrong they'd be worried about him and his bike bouncing into the crowd?

He should think himself lucky he didn't get a speeding ticket as well.

I remember hearing about that.............shit just try keeping the front down at Paeroa on a big bike.

There was a bit of a thread about wheelies after Paeroa

It does say in the rules that overly long or sustained wheelies on the front straight are not allowed but its ok on the back straight, in saying that i think its a load of horse shit, People like to see wheelies and some of us like to do them

What's the fine for a stoppie?

What an utter load of crap - FFS it is a race track where people like me who only do wheelies by mistake can go and watch professionals do them in safety.

Are those races being sponsored by ACC or something?

Utter arse-wipes. I hope he does NOT pay the fine, and each and every racer from buckets to full-bore bikes pop a wheelie over the finish line the next race meeting regardless of their finishing position.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS TURNING GAY

What about 70-80% of the racers doing wheelies off the bump on the back straight.

Or a Mr So and So doing a sick burnout from the hairpin back to the pits after being a muppet and trying to take a shortcut across a drain cover?

MotoGP and WSBK riders do massive mingas to celebrate when they take the checkered flag - I think the crowds sort of expect it to happen, especially on the more powerful bikes.

It's not like Lance Lowe doesn't know how to pull a decent wheelie and keep it under control...

Just another reason NOT to go and watch road racing. They are obviously trying to dull it down. You wont see me in the crowd if that's the case. Good one MNZ and paeroa officials.
