Thanks for that shafty, some new gems i've never seen before amongst that lot!

So it puts you off wheelies huh?? Can you wheelie a motorcycle or have you always been put off and this just puts you off more?

I'm sort of in between, I can't wheelie or do stoppies, was considering getting a practice bike to learn, now I'm not so sure.

I bet the racer at the start had to order new leathers after almost getting nailed by that bike

The JPS Norton at the IOM tankslapper would be friggin scary
The bloke at the end friggin ouch! that was definately hospital time

That last one is so scary, that would hurt for a long time!

I'm sure the guy who suffered the tankslapper died in that one, look at how hard he hits and the change in direction after he bounced off the wall. Not nice at all. (Just watched it again and you don't get the full clip, the guy hits the wall then changes direction by over 90deg heading away from the camera for a considerable distance.)

Love how the guy who loops the GSXR race rep just gets up and walks away. Nothing to see here, 'cept a destroyed bike...

And the last one, nah the car wasn't moving.

Oh yeah, hasn't put me off wheelies.
