    I have locked the front 4 times on cold tyres and slid for about 1m but never enough to become a close call,
    If you dont test these limits, how are you going to deal with them when they happen unexpectedly ?
    Yes, keep it up, you may never know when you see a bunch of hot chicks... stoppies should give a high percentage chance of getting their phone numbers

    Pfft, if you need your bike to get chicks there's something wrong...perhaps your face?

    Be as dangerous as you like on your bike provided the danger is only to yourself. In saying that, I'd rule out stoppies at intersections unless you're very very careful.
