    Ahhhh yes the whole "boy racer" side. But would it be fair to say that a lot of the things "boy racers" do are uncontrolled? Or better yet you can get a 15yr old in a car capable of doing such thjings...

    Now I feel that yes we may be hooligans but most (yes i said MOST) of the time we are fully in control. Shit happens... sometimes and you deal with it then. Also i have yet to see a really young bloke doing stupid things on a bigger modern sprotbike. I am sure they are out there but i have yet to see one.

    Bollocks. I think the 15yr old behind the wheel thinks the same thing.

    Dont get me wrong I dont mind people stunting, but in the same instance I dont mind boy racers. Im afraid for me your both in the same catagory. Its not a bad thing, but both under the same umbrellor. You can paint it how you like. I do find it funny when people here abuse boy racers, then jump on their bike and do the same thing, lololol.

    Quite a few differences between the boy racers and the stunties i'd say....

    A) It's harder to ride a bike when u are completely plastered... unlike the boy racers who still hoon around AFTER they had passed out 30 minutes before from too much drinking with a car load of people...
    B) When things get out of control at least u are only going to kill yourself and not all your mates along with yourself. (unless you take someone out somehow...).

    So at least the stunts and hooliganism is somewhat contained and puts less people at risk than handbrake turning a car at high/low speed (i know two people who've tried it. First one killed himself and 3 or 4 of his idiot mates after they nailed a pole.... no loss to the intelligence of society... the other managed to roll and write off the car... yay for him .................. idiots........)

    So really if u wanna pull stunts i'd say go ahead. Only you and your family who will face the consequences, not 4 mates and their families.

    I see no difference, as for your comments with alcohol. Well you have just labeled the entire boy racer group, hmm dont people do that with motorcycles.

    I feel like being a wanker here....
    Those who dont like stunts.....cant stunt, have never tried, and are too emotional
    How do you feel when someone sez to you.... "Why do you ride a motorbike for? Those things are dangerous" or my favourite "You'll get yourself killed on that thing".......... Now look at the comments you guys are posting against people who stunt.... go buy a bloody cage, even scooter riders stunt

    for my2¢ - imho boy racers don't have the same concept of danger as we do. If bikers fuck up, it's gonna hurt. Boy racers never fuck up. or so they think. Even when they do fuck up and kill people, they're back out doing it the next night.

    We (most anyway) know the dangers we're getting into just getting on the seat, let alone popping a wheelie etc. Which leads me to believe that anyone 'stunting' would do it in a place that's more appropriate than where a boy racer would just see a round about in any traffic condition, and try to spin the back round.. Not saying that all of them do, but a lot of them have the 'invincible' mode set on.. We know all too well we ain't

    After all has been said I still don't think a group ride is the place for stunts. If you must stunt - do it away from the group. But then where's the fun in that eh?

    All are entitled to their oposing opinions my dear Aff...but as I've already stated here, in my experience I've seen more accidents from riders who were not stunting than from those who were, so my opinion differs from Mr Mooch who sounds like he has had quite the opposite experience...

    True, all are entitled to thier opinions..... that differs from saying people in this particular thread are early 20's squids .....

    Maybe I smell fishy or something?? I am sure I showered this morning??
