How OK is it to pull a wheelie whilst passing

**DEATH_INC.** · 27th January 2005, 17:15

Passing cars on the rear is a completely irresponsible,antisocial,dangerous,inconsiderate,s tupid thing to do.
I cannot condone this sort of behaviour,nor will I ever do it againpromise......
On the other hand,if the car just happens to get in the way when you're up there,what other choice do you have

A wheelie while overtaking wouldn't fit the boy racer legislation. It would simply be dangerous driving, No impounds and no 28 day suspension (unless speed is a factor, 50+ over the limit). You'd still be in pretty deep poo though.

I've never had the inclanation to pull wheelies, not even in my rash stupid days. Once however while riding a R80 BMW with a side car attached I passed a car on two wheels with the side car, (and passenger) balanced in the air. The joker in the car thought it was a great stunt but my female passenger wasn't impressed.

I know I'll probably get bombarded by bad rep for admitting to such rash stupidity but I don't really care.

Sorry dude, assumed you didn't have kids. I always thought most active bikers either didn't yet have kids, or had them, gave up riding for a while to be sensible, then went back to it. Thats what most people seem to do... or so I thought. Hmmm, I feel another thread or poll coming on...

I think wheelies are pretty cool, when driving my car, and I see a biker doing a wheelie I am very impressed.

How do you think i manage to get the 400 up.......

But i like pulling wheelies (at least my feeble attemps) and better yet with an audience (ladies seem to like it hehehehe)

But funniest thing was a guy in a civic or some shitty car and him reving it's guts at the lights and then takes off "(use that phrase looooooosley) so i wait a little then pass him on the back wheel... his face was priceless hehehehe.

Oh and CK monday mate then straight into wheelie practice...... Don't tell you're wife and i promise not to hehehehe

I've been driving the hospital van with a load of patients, the consensus was that the dude doing the wheelie was awesome and everyone enjoyed watching. As far as me in my Surf, go for it!

At the end of the day its your licience and all I'd say is only do it on the open road.

Dude you're a legend - pulling a wheelie while driving your car!! Bucket loads of rep points coming your way!! You must be hung like a stallion!

No I didn't exactly plan it that way. Trig Rd North heading back to Tauranga has a clear but undulating straight just before it crosses the Waihi Beach road. I wind her up and figure there might be a bit of lift off the top, and yes, I did underestimate it. Fun though. Would I do it again? Yes. Jjust to test at what speed it does jump though, purely research you understand.

I figure maybe that chap writing the tips for new bikers thing could include a "what happens when you..." section. Why is it that cars jump and bikes just climb?

I just had a disturbing reminder of why we should all think about taking it easy. A freind of mine just sent me an email titled "Suzuki GSXR1000 crashed at 280km/hr....!!"

Horrific pics. They have basically collected all of the riders body parts and put them in a pile by the side of the road. No kidding. I hope to christ that it's a mock up, but something tells me it's not.

If your morbid fascination for such things means that you can't resist seeing them, send me a PM and I'll send them on to you, they are too graphic to post on a public forum IMHO. Take it easy people. I pity the cops, ambo's and fire fighters who have to tidy this kind of shit up.
