    well you see I'm of the opinion that practice makes perfect. So whether I'm on a ride in a group or by myself (especially if there is a hotty watching) I'll pop it on the back wheel.....

    Some people seem to take offence to the fact that you are doing such stunts. I'm of the opinion that if I am comfortable doing them and know the penalty for getting caught then they can mind thier own bussiness. There is I have noticed a lot of talk about the cops being rung....... Well do youuu go over the speed limit?? Dosn't matter if your on the back ally road somewhere if someone rings and says there is a group of motorcyles going fast on lets say 22 they will be waiting it's all up to chance really.

    That all being said I am sure there are some nonses out there who see stunts being one and just have to try them. I learnt the slow long way little by little untill I have now a real feel for the bike. So I know i can only do first gear stand ups unless i want to root the bike in second so that's all do.

    *breaths* To sum up. If you can go for it, If you can't don't try on a group ride, and if you disagree don't tell me about it cause i'll tell you to piss off.

    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    Stunting is the kind of carry on that gets us into trouble, it's not on, on public roads, you lunatics should be shamed of yourself, if i catch ya's you'll get an earful of it.
    Hence why the law abiding, car and police friendly biker that i am, i am currently trying to sort a LEGAL place for us to practice our stunting aka riding skills, will keep you posted

    normally i couldn't give a toss what others i'm riding with do within reason but couple if weeks back was ridin over local hill and the guy in front of me overtakes a truck on a blind coner
    at the time thought crazy barstard , and waited for a safe place to overtake , and did
    at the next stop the fuzz pulls up , the truck had *555 my mate and they said they were gunna charge the whole group with dangerous driving and let us fight it out in court( there were 7 of us)
    fuzz then checked all our regos etc , sigh of relife from me as i took the gsxr on that ride which was my only legal bike at the time, some fast talkin and them yellin at us and they let us go in the end
    think in reality it was all hot air from the police to give us a scare but makes you think , and glad we all had current regos cause it gave them a good xcuse to fish for tickets, (they were checkin tread depth and all)

    only group ride ive been on, guys were doing wheel stands on the right hand side of the road. luckily....they were at the back, so any bins wouldnt have affected many. sadly, i was behind them, so any bins would have been very interesting. however, none binned.

    as long as they know what they are doing and arent endangering others, hell, show off. makes things a bit more intersting for the person in front of the tail end charlie, lmfao.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    Shit no mate, the road is the only place for it, but when it goes wrong and the bike slides into a curb and kills it, and or you stuff up in front of the "hottie" (showing off undid me in a big way once)(er twice actully) and the police get all anal when or if they turn up, and most importantly you could hurt somone else, so i figures if i get this "place" sussed i/we can practice to our hearts content or as long as the bike stays rideable and then the chances of it going wrong back out where we should all stunt (the streets) is a lot less.

    Poor rider control invariably leads us to crashing our 600cc Honda, and scaring our family's.
