    cos its still just a theory init! If it get to a law like newtons did, then goneski's

    Though I don't condone drunken wheelies, as long as nobody else was put in danger who gives a shit. Next time it may be a better comp if theres distance involved, ie biggest wheelie in the 25m before that brick wall the other day I figured out I can put my cr on the back wheel for a good 6m in our 20odd m back yard

    Protective gear is there to compinsate for your own lack of skill. f you has the skill, why have the gear?
    Provided you have eliminated outside factors like u-turning police cars and tourists on teh wrong side of the road...

    That's the catch, though. I could spend a few hours thinking of various extrinsic factors that have to be controlled for.

    Not wearing gear is kind of like smoking, in one sense. Ostensibly, it's your problem, but when you get dragged off to our Crown-funded healthcare system, everyone pays.

    Amen. Illegal or not, I don't consider it unsafe by default to pass there (well, at least not in the parts with good visibility)... but it's not the place to bite off more than you can chew.

    Go on then... write me a list. I'll be sure to check them all off next time I think of doing wheelies on a motorbike after having a few beers.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I figured the aim was to get me all up in arms and shouting from the rooftops while you guys had a good laugh at my expense. Not really my thing.

    For the record though, my comment was referring to general riding, not confined stunting. If people want to wheelie drunk outside someone's house, whatever.

    I wasn't under the impression you owned your own road Seriously, though, someone popping a few wheelies isn't about to get me hyperventilating. There's a lot more important things to worry about, like burning my toast. Unless the wheelie kills some kittens, then I'll be upset.
