Stunts on Rides?

**Zed** · 1st November 2005, 18:35

Specifically when road riding, but off road can count too, do you approve of others on the same ride pulling stunts such as wheelstands, stoppies, burnouts, slides, sitting on the tank and wheelying, etc?

I know some of you disapprove, so now's your chance to say why, no holds barred!

If it's an approriate time and place at least wait till i get the camera out.

I hate it when others do wheelies, stoppies, ride fast, turn up on expensive bikes and do other things I can't do.......

By the way - you really care too much about everything.

As long as they can do it safely

there is allways a time and a place

as long as they have the skills to do it, yeah why not, no danger to anyone else, as long as they do it in a semi controlled area, sure why not, i'm always up for wheelies when theres a dirtbike around (haven't got the guts to risk my fairings on the road)

You ride a ZX-10 too scooterboynz, do you wheel stand it? If so, under what circumstances do you intentionally not stunt?

As long as they don't fall off.

Yeah it's all good, time and place being correct...not endangering anyone else, why not?

Yeah true, 'cos then you've possibly gotta carry the muppets back on your seat, which makes the rest of your ride gay (sympahty dependant on circumstances I guess)...it's a risk they take, like everything else, but if they've got the skills, sweet...

**Riff Raff** · 1st November 2005, 18:55

FUCK YEAH!!!

As long as they don't attract the attention of our boys in blue when I'm riding along at a million miles an hour!

Role models are last people I need, but its cool to see! Smoke screen a stunt?

**gamgee** · 1st November 2005, 19:00

So you reckon they can be a role model for others to follow? Would that fall under peer pressure for some of you newbie riders out there on 150/250cc screamers?

Lol, only if another bike gets caught behind it and ends up doing a humungous stoppie before he collides with the slowed down traffic! That was Jrandom's motorway stunt...hehe

Hmmm, but you like riding really close to other riders when going at supersonic gixxer speeds, well you did like...I heard.

The joke's on you btw sixpack! Any self-professing athiest such as yourself who tells everyone that he prays, must still be on drugs eh mate? To us a favour and kick the habit and make everyone else's life more bearable.

People, I hate trolls, try not to feed 'em.
